Alberta purchased children’s pain medication from Turkey at a price more than six times greater than what the provincial health authority normally pays for the same volume of product, according to documents obtained by The Globe and Mail.The Alberta government explained in 2022 that the manufacturer required a minimum order of five million bottles - or $70-million worth of drugs - to get the deal done. But a briefing note, obtained by The Globe, indicates the health authority could have reduced its total bill by ordering less medicine, albeit at a higher price per bottle.

David Myles was standing onstage at a downtown Fredericton hotel in front of a roomful of cheering supporters, halfway through his victory speech, when it dawned on him – really, really dawned on him – what had just happened. That an election had just taken place, that he had won his race and that he was now a member of Parliament.“This is a shift in my life,” he recalled thinking to himself. “This is a distinct moment. There’s going to be a pre-MP life, and an MP life.”
