This week on the Alberta Roundup with Rachel Emmanuel, Rachel discusses a couple major announcements made at the Alberta Recovery Conference earlier this week — including Premier Danielle Smith’s revelation that Budget 2023 holds $275 million in funding for the mental health and addiction’s office.

Rachel also touched on a sole-source, three-month contract worth $72,500 awarded to a marketing agency where Smith’s former leadership campaign manager is a part-owner.

Finally, Rachel dove into Edmonton’s controversial 15 minute cities proposal. Is it intended to create a better quality of life for downtown residents or is there something more sinister behind the plan?
