Relatives of a prominent Alberta separatist who recently met with U.S. officials are upset that he has failed to pay back more than $1.3 million that a judge found he misappropriated from elderly relatives.

A B.C. Supreme Court judge ruled in March 2025 that Dennis Modry, co-founder and former CEO of the Alberta Prosperity Project, misappropriated the money from the joint bank account of his aunt and uncle who suffered from Alzheimer’s and dementia, respectively, and ordered him to pay the money back with interest.

Verna Holmes, who filed the civil suit against Modry, told CBC News he has not paid back any money, despite the court order.

“You go through all of that and then for what? He still gets away with it,” Holmes said.

Fits in perfectly with the UCP.

After all this is the party that took advantage of misinformation flooding into the country during the pandemic, misinformation designed to have covid-19 kill as many Canadians as possible, they used that misinformation to leverage themselves into a political cult based around the same MAGA Christian nationalists principles.

Then they piggy back on the Christian communities collective narcissism to run a kleptocracy, funnelling off taxpayer money to themselves through various schemes and offices. Heck, we're paying the same group that runs Canada Proud to run ads in Ontario, and the Alberta taxpayers have been paying this group to run multiple campaigns with no bidding process for people in other provinces. I remember reading Postmedia outlets attacking Notely for spending 1.9 million dollars on ads in 2019, but I have not heard them even mention once that Smith has exploded that to more than 80 million dollars, and thats not even including the 60 million we give to the war room, that turns around and pays the same company to run even more ads.

Kinda drives me nuts that whenever a conservative government takes power in Canada they all start giving huge sums of money to the same media groups that Harper used for his Action Plan ads when he was PM. We paid for taxpayer funded TV ads against marijuana use that the Doctors Association of Canada had to come out and debunk.

Now this same company is running social media account across the country that are breaking election laws on a regular basis and using all this money to create new media groups like Juno and TruNorth, which they teamed up with Rebel to disrupt our federal debates during the last election. I have no idea how this shit is possibly legal, and that without diving into the work of one Ezra Levant.

Politicians in Alberta are the most opportunistic, greedy, unscrupulous business people I've ever met.
