Alberta government thread

I wonder if the Alberta AG will deliberately intervene in ways guaranteed to torpedo any future legal action.

Or am I just a cynic?

If this is at the point of a criminal investigation doing search warrants, that will get hard for them to screw with.

I want to know who in the RCMP is carrying the file and did the search; which actual unit is investigating this.

Anticorruption investigations can be very lengthy. If they’re doing overt search warrants, a lot of other much quieter stuff has probably already been done. Now that they’ve searched offices they’ll have a ton of data and documents to comb through and contextualize. This will still be a while.

But wow, nonetheless.

Improper disclosure would seem an obvious choice.

Our system is built on the assumption of good faith actors within the system (eg the AG). Once that assumption fails...

What sort of disclosure are you thinking? I ask because the term as you know can show up lots of ways.

I'm wondering which group will be the first to suggest that "Ottawa" directed its federal police force to conduct a "politically motivated" investigation. Will it be someone in the UCP camp who ties it to a need for a true provincial police force or will it be the separatists who will add it to their list of federal interferences. Though it's getting increasingly difficult to distinguish between them.
