Summary
Former Alberta Health Services head Athana Mentzelopoulos is suing for $1.7 million, claiming unfair dismissal after investigating lucrative government contracts and political meddling. The province counters she was fired for poor performance. But here’s the twist: Mentzelopoulos accuses two podcasters of harassing her—despite never meeting them—claiming their hundreds of mentions, threats, and demeaning comments form a coordinated effort to scare her into dropping the suit. Her lawyer seeks contempt of court and funding exposure, while the defense argues there’s no proof of connection and that podcast criticism alone doesn’t violate court rules. The judge’s ruling is expected within a week. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
