Anny Sauvageau for Alberta Liberal leader!

Alberta's former chief medical examiner has launched a $5-million wrongful dismissal lawsuit against Alberta Justice, Justice Minister Jonathan Denis and four senior government bureaucrats.

In a statement of claim filed Tuesday, Dr. Anny Sauvageau makes sensational allegations of political interference in the operations of the medical examiner's office.

The most controversial allegation is that Alberta Justice negotiated a costly new body transportation contract without her approval in order to appease the Alberta Funeral Services Association and curry political favour in rural ridings. She also claims she was ordered not to fire an employee, even though human resources recommended the worker be let go.

Since the immediate political move after loudly complaining about the government's treatment of healthcare is to run for Alberta Liberal Party leader, it's probably good that Crazy Raj is resigning.
