Subhead:Lukaszuk could quickly clear up any doubts over the source of his group’s funding and the path of his group’s expenditures by filing statements with Elections Alberta like the rest of the groups campaigning in the referendum.#
Like many Albertans, Premier Danielle Smith is wondering why Elections Alberta has exempted Thomas Lukaszuk’s Forever Canadian group from campaign rules such as funding disclosure.
“That’s a bit surprising to me and a surprise to others. I suppose we’ll see what kind of contributions there are, also spending limits as well,” she said.
The premier’s musings infuriated Lukaszuk, who spat, “I find those comments despicable; there’s no other way to say it.”
Lukaszuk could quickly clear up any doubts over the source of his group’s funding and the path of his group’s expenditures by filing statements with Elections Alberta like the rest of the groups campaigning in the referendum. Then his indignation could indeed be righteous. But he still refuses all forms of transparency.
Why Elections Alberta continues its campaign of willful blindness with Lukaszuk’s campaign remains a mystery.
