The sound sucks, but the first 5 minutes is what you need to see.

I understand that my personal information, including my home address, was shared publicly on a screen at a recent Alberta separatist event. It was also recorded on video, and is now circulating.

This was apparently part of the outrageous data leak of Albertans’ private information, wherein Elections Alberta shared its entire detailed provincial voter database with the “Republican Party of Alberta,” which in turn shared it with some separatist group called the “Centurion Project,” whose leadership then shared my personal information publicly.

Over the past few years I have received no shortage of threats from people broadly associated with the separatist / antivax / far right movement in Alberta. So it is disturbing that my personal information is now broadly available, particularly in those circles.

While I have been targeted specifically, the broader data breach may also effect vulnerable Albertans, including victims of domestic violence, journalists, activists, judges, and other public servants for years to come.

I will retain legal counsel to seek advice on recourse regarding this outrageous and potentially dangerous violation of my personal privacy.


^^ This was a fire he stoked.

I kind of like it that Jason Kenney now has to feel like so many reporters and abused women. While no one should have to experience that, perhaps Kenney will now understand what it's like.

The Alberta Referendum Question:

The participants discuss concerns raised by former Alberta Premier Jason Kenney regarding the need for federalist voices to speak out against secessionist movements (1:08 - 2:21).
James Moore emphasizes that while tensions within the federation are not new, the current climate in Alberta feels distinct (2:32 - 5:47). Both he and Gerald Butts agree that this is a local issue that should primarily be addressed by local Albertan voices rather than external ones (2:25 - 2:48; 6:07 - 6:50).
Gerald Butts warns about the potential influence of external actors, including foreign interests or digital misinformation campaigns, which could worsen the divide (8:38 - 10:33).
The speakers highlight the risks of a divisive referendum campaign, using the analogy of a "bent paperclip" that may eventually break the trust necessary for a functional confederation (12:08 - 14:59).
Canada's Ties to Europe:

The conversation shifts to Canada's increasing diplomatic and economic focus on Europe (37:55 - 40:05).
Gerald Butts views this as a positive and necessary step for Canada to broaden its options, especially given the geopolitical challenges in the United States (38:52 - 40:47).
James Moore provides a cautionary perspective, noting that while European ties are beneficial, the United States remains the backbone of the Canadian economy (41:25 - 43:35). He argues that the focus on Europe may be viewed by Western Canadians as an "elitist" play rather than a practical solution to their regional economic needs (47:09 - 48:47).


The boy that is crying wolf is the boy that opened the fence for the wolves to begin with. So when he is helping the village round up the sheep, let him, but then he should be held accountable for stoking the fire to begin with. You can't blame the culture of Alberta as an excuse for treason. He held the door open for much worse actors and ALL of that should be reflected on his judgement and the political enterprise he represents. This isn't vengeance masquerading as justice but the baseline for what defines a country's sovereignty. The modern conservative movement has crossed the line for loyal opposition to only supporting governments they control.
