Two members of Premier Danielle Smith’s cabinet have resigned. As expected, Finance Minister Nate Horner is gone. He and Hospital and Surgical Health Services Minister Matt Jones both posted letters to social media saying they were not planning to run for re-election, so now is the time for new ministers to step into their roles.
UCP ministers Nate Horner and Matt Jones say there shouldn’t be a separatist referendum called by the premier. Will Danielle Smith remove them from cabinet for speaking against it?

A Globe story mentions a fact largely overlooked by this space. Among the beneficiaries of free playoff hockey tickets, which included Dani Panama and multiple others, was Nate Horner, Alberta’s current minister of finance. (tbf.minister@gov.ab.ca – Marisa.Breeze@gov.ab.ca)
Nate Horner, like Dani Panama and her hangers-on, accepted grease from Sam Mraiche. Ministers Nate Horner and Nathan Neudorf confirmed that Mraiche hosted them with box seats in Edmonton during the 2024 hockey playoffs. They were greased.
After being incorporated by Sam Mraiche’s accountant Sam Jaber in February 2020, Alberta Surgical Group Ltd. (ASG) solicited the Alberta government using P3 Capital Partners Incorporated. Led by politico veteran Doug Horner, they lobbied Alberta infrastructure, Alberta Health Services, and the Alberta Health treasury board finance. It’s possible they weren’t registered. The lobbying paid off, and ASG opened its government funded facility in November, 2022.
