Canadian Ditchley Foundation tells TBA’s David Parker he’s out as a director; Premier Smith does damage control
According to Take Back Alberta Executive Director David Parker, he has been informed by the Canadian Ditchley Foundation he’s being ditched as a director of the organization.
In a bitter sounding tweet on the social media site known as X yesterday afternoon, Mr. Parker complained that “the woke mob has succeeded in intimidating the Ditchley board to have me removed. So, I guess you guys are good at something!”
The tweet includes a screenshot of what appears to be part of an email or series of emails from Pierre Lortie, president of the Canadian arm of the U.K.-based Ditchley Foundation and a senior business advisor at the Dentons LLP law firm.
“I am writing to inform you that the Governance and Nominating Committee of the Canadian Ditchley Foundation (CDF) has taken the decision not to recommend your reappointment as a Director of the Foundation for the coming year,” the screen shot indicates Mr. Lortie told Mr. Parker.
It is not clear from the material posted by Mr. Parker when the decision was made or communicated by the organization, or whether reasons for the decision were given.
Certainly the brouhaha caused by some of Mr. Parker’s recent social media posts, which can fairly be described as unhinged, cannot have sat well with what appears to have be a staid and respectable, if very conservative, organization that likely doesn’t encourage a lot of public scrutiny.

NDP delegates unanimously support pharmacare redline in their deal with Liberals
NDP delegates unanimously support pharmacare redline in their deal with Liberals
HAMILTON – Delegates at the New Democratic convention have made pharmacare the redline in their deal with the Liberals, saying they will withdraw their support if the minority government doesn’t adhere to their demands.
The confidence-and-supply agreement requires the government to table legislation on a pharmacare framework by the end of the year in exchange for the NDP’s support on key votes in the House of Commons.
On Saturday, the party unanimously passed a non-binding emergency resolution that says they will cut the deal if pharamacare isn’t universal and entirely a public program.
But New Democrat health critic Don Davies said the resolution has the full backing of the NDP caucus and that they will accept nothing less than the public single-payer system.
“They have to know that we take this deadly seriously,” said Davies on Saturday.
Straying from his rehearsed speech, NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh promised the same at the three-day policy convention in Hamilton.
“The reality is Liberals only act when New Democrats force them. That’s how we got Medicare. And that’s how we are going to win pharmacare as well,” said Singh in his keynote address prior to his leadership review.
