Alberta Premier Danielle Smith moves to regain control of the narrative after weeks of distancing herself from allegations of political interference — now at the center of a series of Globe and Mail reports and a wrongful dismissal lawsuit filed by a former Alberta Health Services CEO. While the NDP brands the controversy "CorruptCare," Smith pushes back, arguing AHS resisted change and acted too slowly. With her health minister under fire, a top bureaucrat shuffled aside, and an internal review process underway, Smith manoeuvres to steady the UCP ship. Meanwhile, new polling shows rising support for the federal Liberals under Mark Carney among young voters. This week on West of Centre, host Jim Brown breaks it all down with conservative insiders Erika Barootes and Sarah Biggs, along with health policy expert Lorian Hardcastle.
