🇨🇦 Alberta whistleblowers harassed and surveilled after exposing health procurement scandal

Former Justice Minister Tyler Shandro contacted investment banker Sandy Edmonstone on Father's Day 2024 after Edmonstone and others blew the whistle on a controversial health care procurement deal. What followed was systematic harassment: threatening texts, physical surveillance, and intimidation campaigns targeting those who spoke out, including a journalist who covered the story. Edmonstone's affidavit details the stalking and threats that came after exposing the deal.

This is what passes for accountability in Canadian provincial politics now. Speak up about dodgy procurement contracts and suddenly you're being followed, threatened, and silenced. Shandro, who made headlines during COVID for showing up at a doctor's home over criticism, now appears connected to intimidation efforts against those questioning government contracts. The message is clear: shut up, accept the grift, or face consequences. Alberta's establishment protecting its own while pretending to be populist.
