Dale Nally’s Kentucky “booze cruise” included 11 distillery stops, and taxpayers even covered transportation for his chief of staff’s husband.
Taxpayer dollars are not a personal entertainment fund.

How bad is the UCP's gerrymandering?
@PIAlberta has put together a site that explains it all, with pictures and everything!

Minister Nally’s Kentucky booze cruise budgeted $2600 for travel to "two or three distillers". His and his chief of staff’s bill came to $5,437 because they went to *11* distilleries.
It included a staffer’s husband, who never paid his tab.
Nally should repay the whole thing.
HR retweeted
The UCP government is allergic to accountability.
11 distilleries visited, a guest who refused to pay his own way, and @DaleNally_AB justifying the $5400 Kentucky bourbon booze cruise tab.
I wonder why the Minister had in his binder how much booze Canadian customs allows?

Congratulations to the UCP on another international media breakthrough.
Newsweek is covering Alberta's Minister of Bourbon Affairs, Dale Nally, and his Kentucky booze cruise, complete with 11 distilleries, a chauffeured vehicle and a staffer's husband.

There are 0 construction dollars for the Stollery, Nuns & Mis.
Meanwhile the UCP set $69,000,000 on fire by cancelling the South Edmonton Hospital.
The UCP promises but doesn’t deliver.

Instead of getting trade deals for Alberta and Canada, the UCP gets us headlines like this down south:

Today I toured Brick House Recovery Centre in Edmonton to see firsthand the important work they’re doing to help Albertans struggling with gambling addiction.
Gambling will never be safe. If you or someone you love is struggling with gambling addiction, know that help is there.
Albertans have access to world-class gambling addiction treatment, and it’s free. Just call 211 to get connected with support.

"The Alberta Taxpayer."
Danielle Smith's personal ATM.
😠
Danielle Smith's government is facing backlash after classifying a private Kentucky bourbon distillery tour as "taxi fare."
Receipts show over $5,400 spent on private, chauffeured tours for Minister Dale Nally’s delegation, but public disclosures listed the expense under standard taxi services.

Official trips are for official business, not plus-ones.
FOIP records suggest a failed UCP candidate, married to a ministerial chief of staff, rode along on Minister Nally's bourbon country tour and taxpayers covered his share.
Pay it back. And tell us how often this happens.

Albertans paid for Dale Nally’s Kentucky booze cruise, and somehow the husband of his chief of staff — a failed UCP nomination candidate — got to tag along on the taxpayer dime.
Nothing says government business quite like 11 distillery stops for the minister, his chief of staff and her husband.
ALT Sorry, I can't help with identifying or describing people in the image.

You're skipping items at the checkout & the UCP is billing you for booze.
The Premier copied Trump's playbook & you're the one paying for it.
Albertans are done with the UCP's MAGA-style politics, higher costs & RCMP investigations.
Albertans want a better government

Alberta taxpayers appear to have been stuck with the tab for a failed UCP candidate married to a ministerial chief of staff who accompanied Service Alberta Minister Dale Nally on his September 2025 trip through Kentucky’s bourbon country, according to government expense records.

Ahh…look at you two.
After spending $1.2M of our tax dollars in an attempt to discredit their opponent, the facts don’t support their lies and spin.
They didn’t think anyone would actually read the report.

Alberta didn't bother to put out an RFP for addiction supports until after they unleashed this threat on their residents. Support is still not available but we did pay for Dale's Kentucky booze cruise and gambling junket to Las Vegas. #ABPoli #ABLeg

Barner, Guthrie and Jenkins
"While the primary operational, political, and commercial nodes of this multi-million dollar network are well-documented, a forensic accounting of this scale means there are additional institutional players whose administrative, regulatory, and corporate actions directly intersect with the fallout.
Here are the remaining figures who have been officially drawn into the investigation:
1. The Shared Directorate Link:
Aaron Barner
Who He Is:
A prominent figure within regional Indigenous and Métis organizational leadership.
The Involvement:
Corporate registries unmasked him as a co-director alongside Sam Mraiche in the Métis Strategic Service Corporation.
Investigative audits by the opposition and independent journalists are tracking this exact shared directorate to evaluate how Mraiche's real estate firms smoothly secured the $480,000-per-year commercial leasing arrangements for decentralized recovery buildings like the Larga property.
2. The Fired Dissident:
Peter Guthrie
Who He Is:
The former UCP Minister of Infrastructure.
The Involvement:
Guthrie became the first major internal cabinet whistleblower to break ranks with Premier Danielle Smith over the contracting pipeline.
Guthrie leaked internal cabinet meeting minutes proving that the Premier and Health Minister Adriana LaGrange had ACTIVELY MISLED their own cabinet members regarding the choice of builders.
His disclosure exposed that the Alberta government had EXPLICITLY RECOMMENDED Mraiche-linked Melewka Homes to build the $35-million treatment centers while telling the public they had no involvement, leading to his immediate removal and dismissal from the UCP caucus.
3. The Public Voice of the Ministry:
Heather Jenkins
Who She Is:
The senior Press Secretary for Justice Minister Mickey Amery.
The Involvement:
As the primary operational gatekeeper for the Ministry of Justice, her office has been responsible for handling the intense fallout regarding retroactive legislative changes and independent judicial appointments.
Her communications metadata are under review to trace how ministerial defenses were structured during the peak of the Elections Alberta donor tracking interference...1/
