Alberta opposition blow whistle on Oilers owner's donation to Progressive Conservatives

DAVID EBNER AND DAWN WALTON
VANCOUVER AND CALGARY — THE GLOBE AND MAIL

Alberta's opposition parties officially called for an investigation on Friday into a $430,000 donation from Edmonton billionaire and Oilers owner Daryl Katz to the Progressive Conservative party during the spring election, accounting for nearly one-third of all the money the Conservatives raised during the challenging campaign.

The parties submitted letters to chief electoral officer Brian Fjeldheim at Elections Alberta, who will vet the complaints and likely launch an investigation. However, details of the probe would be secret, and current legislation keeps the final results of such investigations from the public, except in the rare circumstance of a prosecution.

Opposition parties demanded transparency on Friday. Brian Mason, leader of the Alberta NDP, said he wants to see a report to the Legislature.

"This is a matter of great importance for the functioning of our democratic process," Mr. Mason wrote to Mr. Fjeldheim. "I anticipate that your investigation will be complete and that the Legislature will receive a full report on your findings as it relates to this investigation."

On Thursday, The Globe and Mail reported that Mr. Katz donated $430,000 to the Conservatives in a single cheque, and the money was thereafter split up under different names. Mr. Katz and the City of Edmonton have for several years been seeking $100-million in provincial support for a proposed $450-million hockey arena.

The maximum donation for an individual or company during an election campaign in Alberta is $30,000. Elections Alberta says donation splitting is acceptable in some circumstances.

On Wednesday, in public election finance disclosures, the Conservatives revealed that they had taken $300,000 from Mr. Katz, his company, members of his family, and his four closest associates and their companies.

The news sparked a firestorm in the Legislature on Thursday.

Premier Alison Redford on Thursday restated her long-standing opposition to direct arena funding, although she supports indirect funding, and said she is confident in the party's finances.

On Friday, Opposition Leader Danielle Smith of the Wildrose Party invoked "the health of democracy" in her letter to Mr. Fjeldheim. "The limits we have in place are designed to ensure nobody can exert undue influence, or appear to exert undue influence, on those elected to government; accordingly, their proper enforcement is essentially to the health of democracy in Alberta."

The political pressure in the current case may be more intense than previous situations, suggested Scott Hennig, vice-president of the Canadian Taxpayers' Federation. "Elections Alberta hasn't been a real tiger on this stuff," Mr. Hennig said. "And if Redford is going to dig her heels in and say that it's fine, she might be in for serious push back."

Katz, owner of Rexall Drugs, and Bettman are both Jews. Calgary Flames president Ken King is also a Jew. Few NHL teams don't have Jews running them.

The Daryl Katz campaign contribution scandal continued to grow this week, as:

-Elections Alberta launched an investigation into whether the Edmonton Oilers owner's reported $300,000 in donations — 20% of all money raised by the Progressive Conservative Party this spring — broke the law. Meanwhile, members of the opposition

-New Democratic Party questioned why the Alberta government doubled fees for pharmacists giving flu shots this year — a boon to Katz' Rexall pharmacy chain.

-Alberta finance minister Doug Horner said the province turned down both Katz' request for arena funding and his request for a casino license regardless of the campaign money, saying that donations don't affect policy decisions.

-Alberta municipal affairs chief Doug Griffiths says an Oilers arena would be "eligible" to use money from a provincial development fund, but insists Katz' donations have nothing to do with this ruling, saying he "never considered him at all" in funding    decisions.

-Calgary pols are starting to gripe that Edmonton shouldn't get any extra arena money before they get the light-rail funds they've been promised, dammit.

Jews control professional sports and the sports betting associated with.

In fact, the control is so extensive, Jewish media organs such as WikiPedia no longer even publish ownership lists for some sports...Too many questions like 'Do Jews own professional sports?' on Google.

They also control the TV/Cable networks that televise the sporting events; also 'sports journalism', prominent example ESPN.

Indeed, Frank. It goes back to ancient Rome using the games as a distraction.
