A self-described political fixer says a former Alberta justice minister hired him to obtain a reporter's phone logs.
Denis was a Progressive Conservative cabinet minister in Alberta from 2010 to 2015 and justice minister for the last three of those years. Recently, he has been reported to be an organizer for Conservative MP Pierre Poilievre's campaign for leadership of the federal party."I'm a repairman," said Wallace, a former Ontarian now living in Calgary."I can find things or people and I can massage and fix difficult situations.
He remains close to the premier. In 2020, he held a birthday party for Kenney attended by two cabinet ministers, said a guest who was there. His son, Chad Hallman, works as a political staffer for Alberta Health. However, some emails involve people not involved in this story. The Canadian Press contacted seven. Five confirmed they had sent the emails and two declined comment; none said the emails were false or altered.
"How long do you anticipate working on this before likely achieving results?" asks an email sent the next day, seemingly from Denis. The documents provided by Wallace say the work didn't take long. By March 20, a message purportedly from Wallace reported results. "I’ve paid you 'good money' for this report but it is useless to me without the backup documents. I have a lot more work I can throw you in Calgary from me personally and from my contacts. However — I need this documentation."
Maybe the “fixer” should be investigated as well

This is a far bigger story than I think we realize. Former minister Jonathan Denis needs to be held accountable. This is likely not legal. Smells like GOP tactics. Unethical and dirty.
