Peter Guthrie resigns his cabinet position as infrastructure minister

“I’m just a regular guy, seeing what’s going on and I don’t like what I see”

is one line from an interview Mr Guthrie had with Calgary Sun columnist Rick Bell.  Others included:

“Something doesn’t sit right with me. It doesn’t pass the smell test, plain and simple. We should have core values and being against corruption should be one of those, right? […]  I can’t sit around a table where a cabinet feels it’s fine that dishonesty and conflict of interest is a normal course of business. I don’t want to be a part of that. There is no amount I could speak in that room to change anyone’s mind. That became clear to me.”

Premier Danielle Smith commented on Minister Guthrie’s resignation saying (regarding AHS) that she didn’t know anything and wasn’t involved.
