🇨🇦 Podcasters who exposed AHS bureaucrat malfeasance now fighting to protect their sources from the state

Two independent journalists are arguing that Alberta Health Services has no right to seize their devices after they broke the story on a senior official funneling contracts to her husband. The same system that let corruption flourish unchecked now wants full access to reporter communications, contacts, and confidential sources. AHS isn't interested in accountability — it wants to identify and punish the whistleblowers who dared expose the racket.

This is the playbook: bloated public institutions protect their own, hunt down dissidents, and use legal intimidation to silence anyone outside the approved media apparatus. When citizen journalists do the work legacy outlets won't touch, the bureaucracy doesn't reform — it retaliates. Trudeau-era Canada in a nutshell: the corruption is fine, but talking about it is the real crime.
