ALBERTA JUSTICE FOIP: “MISTAKES WERE MADE DURING THE FLOOD”
ALBERTA JUSTICE FOIP: “MISTAKES WERE MADE DURING THE FLOOD” – EXCERPT: “Your government claims they didn’t give the order to smash up High River. Somebody did. That’s why Doug Griffiths stood up in the legislature the first day of the fall sitting and admitted “mistakes were made during the flood”. He couldn’t come right out and admit who gave the order could be?” Alberta Justice and Solicitor General FOIP Response dated April 12, 2019 received on April 17, 2019 by Dennis R. Young. MY COMMENT: Wonder why they have been hiding these pages for four and a half years?
