About the Episode

Back when we went back to school in September, there was a lot of controversy over the awarding of a contract to a company whose owner had donated to UCP Minister of Education Adrianna Lagrange’s election campaign. Lagrange and the UCP dismissed those concerns, saying that Alberta Education played no role whatsoever in awarding that contract. It seemed a little off to us, so months ago we filed a FOIA request. Turns out, it’s no so much that Alberta Education didn’t play a role in getting their donor company a huge contract. It seems that they’re pretty much solely responsible.
