Former Alberta justice minister had contract with fixer, but denies seeking reporter’s phone logs

Former Alberta justice minister Jonathan Denis has told a newspaper columnist that he had a contract with a political fixer but denies he asked for a reporter’s phone logs to trace the sources of a story.

Denis, an Alberta cabinet minister from 2010 to 2015, told Calgary Herald columnist Don Braid this week that he had a contract with the investigator but never asked for Smith’s phone records. The emails suggest Denis was trying to protect his friend and political ally Mike Ellis, a sitting United Conservative Party junior cabinet minister then thought to be considering running for mayor of Calgary. Ellis’s press secretary, Eric Engler, has said Ellis had not hired Denis for over a decade and was not aware of or in any way involved in efforts to obtain the reporter’s phone logs.

Until recently, Denis was volunteering for Poilievre’s campaign. In 2004, the two founded a political communications company together called 3D Contact and continue to co-own and manage a real estate investment firm in Calgary called Liberty West Properties.

I'm sure it was all just a misunderstanding.

This guy just oozes corrruption.
