Justice Minister Mickey Amery is attacking the foundations upon which the Justice System is built upon with a series of power grabs on behalf of the same UCP members responsible for bringing Albertans CorruptCare.

Albertans will recall that Justice Minister Mickey Amery has close ties with the infamous Sam Mraiche, and the CorruptCare Scandal. I would note that the Scandal, and its subsequent damage to the Alberta Healthcare system, continues to rock Albertans to this very day. Worse, those implicated in the Scandal continue in key roles of government.

The Minister may now be seen grabbing for power from within the Alberta Law Foundation, an organization that notably handles the funding for many Justice system adjacent services that include Women’s Shelters, Pro Bono legal advice, and other support systems that are intended to help the vulnerable seek further help.

What is troubling here is this statement:

Jenkins’s statement said the Law Society of Alberta made its decision to replace their foundation board representatives “entirely independent of the government.” She added that the ministry believes the foundation will provide an update in the coming days about the steps it’s recently taken.

Now remember earlier in Nov 2025 when two senior Crown prosecutors were also suddenly sacked without notice. I suggest that Minister Amery carried out the same attack:

“The recent actions of the government highlight the need for our members to have employment protections that insulate them from losing their employment without articulated cause,” the statement says.

“Without this protection, Crown prosecutors are susceptible to being dismissed from their employment for improper reasons.”

At the legislature on Thursday, Justice Minister Mickey Amery said there was “no government involvement whatsoever” in the senior Crowns’ departures. He said Dale McFee, the former Edmonton police chief who is now head of the Alberta Public Service, also “had absolutely nothing to do” with it.

Dale McFee, of course, was also tied to Sam Mraiche.

    They should sue. ALF is an independent entity, funding grants with the interest on trust accounts held by lawyers. It is definitely not the government’s money.
