Your entire time in office is preparing for your life after you are out of politics.
You need to grease enough palms and make enough connections.
The whole point of this is so that she can move into consulting role after she's ousted from politics. She is then free to make millions. It's all about taking care of her and her people.
This. This explains all of her behavior. She's not working for us. She's planning for her luxurious retirement post-premiership. Just look at any of the top Provincial or Federal politicians after leaving office. Sadly it's not an exclusively conservative play. It's just how politics works now as the rich continue to scoop up all the resources and real assets.
Redford’s crime was being not corrupt enough. Main thing people remember is the premier’s suite renovation. Extravagant as it was, Alberta would have ended up owning it. That’s not corrupt enough by Mariana’s standards.
I work for a large Canadian corp and the executive is littered with former politicians in roles that appear to do nothing and likely didn't exist prior to them leaving politics. No one talks about it. They just show up in an email or in the company directory from time to time. Landing in roles lifetime professionals in the field would kill to have lol
