Well, it's a red carpet so...

‘Stains, rips and tears’: Alberta government defends $280K carpet in Smith’s office​

Alberta’s government is defending a hefty bill to replace the carpet in Premier Danielle Smith’s office, after it became a point of attack in question period.

The provincial infrastructure ministry said Friday in a statement that the previous carpet in the 6,500-square-foot legislature space was in poor condition, riddled with “stains, rips and tears” and more than 20 years old.

It said the province recently spent about $280,000 to purchase and install new red carpet. The cost also included abatement work and removal of the old one.

“The legislature is an important part of Alberta’s history, and renewal work ensures it remains in good condition to serve Albertans for generations to come,” the statement said.

Independent legislature member Scott Sinclair said this week that government spending is “out of control” and out of touch, considering Alberta is staring down a forecasted $5-billion deficit. Sinclair was kicked out of the United Conservative Party caucus earlier this year for threatening to vote against the budget.

Wasn't Smith paying rent?

According to the article he was, however his lawyer declined to say how much. Just that the owners were "compensated ". Another person living at the residence said their rent was $1100 plus utilities. It should be noted Smith was receiving a $26000/year housing allowance.

Its like headlines that read Carney Destroyed By _______ it all depends on your political biases, and the head line is the bait on the hook so its always over stated.

No, this level of corruption is what is expected of the Smith government. So weak and scared in her position she is refusing to call a by election to let the new NDP party leader run.

Pretty sure if Carney gave his chief of staff the same allowances of an MP people would cry fowl. Just another day in Alberta though, and everything keeps pointing back to MH care's CEO and Smith.

I'd imagine Albertans will have to chance to vote her out at the next election.

Is what she did illegal?
