News roundup, 8 May 2026

- Elections Alberta has issued cease and desist letters to everyone known to have accessed a database compiled by the secessionist Centurion...

So. To try to use controversy and #bikelash to distract from the Centurion data breach and UCP electoral boundary gerrymandering scandals, the UCP are rolling out anti-bicycle legislation on Monday.

Insiders say it will use the #Notwithstanding Clause to circumvent the supreme court ruling that prevented Ford from ripping out bike lanes in Ontario.

Talk about low-bar callous disregard for safety: literally throwing people (kids!) in front of buses (& trucks). All to distract us from UCP perfidity.

We won't take the bait.
We will take the lane.

We'll stay calm, deflect back to #Centurion breach of 2.9M Albertans' privacy, the election boundary #gerrymandering, the UCP-fomented attacks on Canadian confederation, and pedal on.

A connection is alleged between the UCP and the Centurion Project’s Elections Alberta Data Leak.

>EDMONTON — Alberta’s NDP Caucus has obtained video evidence that appears to show that a senior member of the United Conservative Party (UCP) party executive and a member of the UCP Caucus staff, people that are in the Premier’s inner circle, attended the April 16 online meeting of the Centurion Project. This meeting provided training to volunteers on how to use the separatists’ project database that is at the centre of this data breach of three million Albertans’ electoral data.
>
>The Alberta NDP Caucus obtained a recording of the Centurion Project’s April 16 online meeting, attended by 80 individuals. The attendee list and a video recording of the call identify that a ‘Rob Smith’ and an ‘Arundeep Sandhu’ were in attendance. The President of the UCP is named Rob Smith and the UCP Caucus Director of Stakeholder Relations is named Arundeep Sandhu.

At this point, Canadians are witnessing one of the worst crashes on the public stage in history. A UCP embroiled in allegations of corruption with CorruptCare now sees separatist organizations responsible for one of the greatest data leak in Canadian history. Even more concerning is how the separatist organizations are all led by individuals affiliated with the UCP, and in some ways either travel in the same circles as Danielle Smith or have relationships with the Alberta Premier.

Justice Minister Mickey Amery looks to stand nearly at the eye of the hurricane, with allegations of conflicts of interest arising from the Corrupt Care scandals mixing with his role in these legislative amendments leading up to the Elections Alberta Data Leak.

The Walrus’ Patrick Lennox brings a review of events leading up to the Elections Alberta Data Leak, and an opinion of the seriousness of this breach. I’ll share a highlight below. I would add that these amendments to how Elections Alberta operated came at a time when Justice Minister Mickey Amery may have been seen interfering with the active EA investigations upon Sam Mraiche and others in the Corrupt Care scandals.

How Did an Alberta Separatist Group Get Its Hands on the Voter List? | The Walrus

But outrage and disbelief at the civil servants who staff Elections Alberta is misplaced. In May of 2025, after the Liberal Party secured a minority Parliament, the UCP switched into full MAGA mode and started passing legislation that seemed geared to bring on a secession referendum. It also started tinkering in anti-democratic ways with the rules around elections. One example of this—amongst many—was Bill 54, which became the Election Statutes Amendment Act, 2025. It did three things of relevance to this discussion. The first was it set Elections Alberta’s investigative bar beyond that which common citizens’ complaints could reasonably expect to reach.

The response to Gerson is exhibit A. But it could very well be exhibit ZZZ. We know about Gerson’s complaint, because, well, she’s Jen Gerson. We don’t know how many other complaints have been concluded in the same way without investigation because Elections Alberta was unauthorized to investigate.

The second was to make it mandatory for Elections Alberta to inform anyone they were investigating that they were, in fact, investigating them. Combined with the first change, the effect was to cripple the agency by stripping investigators of the ability to conduct discreet inquiries, thus giving targets time to coordinate stories, pressure witnesses, or destroy evidence. A third change limited the length of time Elections Alberta had to investigate a complaint to a single year, down from three.

Chief Electoral Officer Gordon McClure warned at the time that this would make things difficult for the regulator. He argued that none of the significant investigations Elections Alberta had conducted over the previous five years would have concluded under the new authorities. He noted in documents sent to Justice Minister Mickey Amery that “we are not aware of any other jurisdiction in Canada that has imposed a similar standard to initiate investigations.” …

Netizen Report: Highlights From Centurion Projects Engagement

https://www.reddit.com/r/alberta/comments/1t38h2d/highlights_from_centurion_projects_engagement/

Canadian Netizens have identified videos of Centurion meetings that are now being taken down. I’ll include a screenshot from Reddit of user “kapowless” who has saved some of these published meetings. There is a highlight reel that took place on April 13, 2026.

kapowless has already done an excellent job of providing the relevant highlights, I’ll only share some here. [1] Of concern is a suggestion in the clip that the database was presented to the White House, and plans to use the Elections Alberta Data Leak to manipulate voters. [2] Centurion’s database of leaked data was intended to be used further and “not a tool to be thrown away”. [3] A question was also asked of whether there’s a choice to opt out of the Centurion database, the response was no because there’s no commensurate choice to opt out of have a postal code with Canada Post.

Online Chatter Draws An Alleged Connection Between Alberta Prosperty Project's Jeffrey Rath to Centurion

As Canadians will recall, Rath is noted to be a leader to the Alberta Prosperity Project. From The Tyee’s Charles Rusnell, “The Wild Claims of Jeff Rath, Separatist Firebrand”, provided an in-depth dive into Rath. From this article, Rath is mentioned giving an interview for Rachel Parker’s podcast:

On Dec. 24, Rath appeared on the Rachel Parker podcast to discuss a recent meeting — allegedly their third — between APP leaders and U.S. State Department officials in Washington, D.C.

“The meeting we had was very strange; we actually met in a SCIF of all things,” Rath told Parker, the wife of far-right influencer and Take Back Alberta leader David Parker, another secessionist.

https://thetyee.ca/News/2026/01/26/Wild-Claims-Jeff-Rath-Separatist-Firebrand/

I’ll point out that the recent news of the Elections Alberta data leak involves the Republican Party of Alberta, led by Cameron Davies, and Centurion, led by David Parker.

From Annie Dufour’s X post, keen eyed observers on X spotted Jeffrey Rath’s account publishing promotional material encouraging the Alberta Prosperity Project members to sign up for The Centurion Project as “super canvassers”.

https://x.com/anniedufour99/status/2050698630382670000?s=46&t=ioB_Y6LnyOXAq2Km8y-wkQ

I’ll include screenshots below to spare anyone the need to visit X.

If these separatist cluster of societies and/or companies are involved with the recent data leak, Canadians have a vested interest in recovering what data is out there, and to lock down this vector. Albertans have suffered immeasurable damage. We have to be able to mitigate or end the losses as soon as possible.

This cluster of entities are operating against Canadian democracy, and they no longer should enjoy the original functions that being societies or corporations offer. Their veils should be pierced immediately, and all their finances and operations should be traced.

Mr Aaron Paquette, Edmonton City Councillor, has issued some remarks concerning the Alberta Electoral Data Leak. I include his remarks here from Reddit to spare anyone a visit.

But, the Councillor rightly points out that the Data Leak by the separatists expose a serious flaw in the Separatist Petition. Essentially, he identifies that the leaked data can lead to fraudulent entries, and that the current rules surrounding the UCP Petition system enables this potential fraud without recourse.

Paquette, and others, rightly point out that the Data Leak is extensive, exposing vulnerable persons or Persons of Interest.

For Elections Alberta’s part, their statement is also included below. EA suggests that they issued a warning to the government that changes in the legal standards of proof that EA was held to were increased to match those of the police as they investigate crimes committed to under the Criminal Code. EA would also rightly point out this change in standards did not come with a commensurate increase in funding for enforcement. As I’ve already noted on prior occasions, this only further confirms my opinion that the EA has been disarmed and unable to carry out its mission to protect Albertans from clear attacks upon Alberta’s electoral system, and Albertans in general.
