Political Ties and Property Deals: A Closer Look at Alberta’s Leadership

Marshall Smith, the former chief of staff to Alberta Premier Danielle Smith, resided in a $1.6-million Edmonton home owned by the sister of businessman Sam Mraiche. Mraiche’s business dealings with Alberta’s provincial health authority have been the subject of multiple investigations.
