A conman from Cochrane just got a brutal 10-year sentence and a $924,954 fine for an eight-year fraud scheme — and if he doesn’t pay it within eight years, he faces another five. The judge slammed him for faking illness and switching lawyers to delay trial, denying any time credit. With no assets to seize, the court’s targeting his wallet — and if he can’t cough up the cash, his sentence could hit 15 years. This is justice hitting where it hurts: financially.

2026/08/06

Alberta’s new self-referral imaging program, launched last Friday, lets patients pay upfront for scans without a doctor’s referral—promising faster access and potential reimbursement if serious illness is found.
