Thinking infers they put effort into forthought. There is nothing of the sort! They are sleepwalking into oblivion just like the Moskovites that are posting their exasperation that they are being bombed by Ukraine in a war they were barely aware of.
77 million voted for that shit stain but 89 million didn't even BOTHER TO VOTE. That's the inertia of imbeciles that america has become. They offer nothing of value and demand everything be given to them on a platter. Long past time the world cut bait and moved on.

The Data Breach: A separatist group called the Centurion Project, led by David Parker, is under investigation by Elections Alberta and the RCMP for allegedly obtaining the private data of nearly 3 million Albertans from the official voter list, which they are reportedly using to gather signatures for a separation referendum (3:50-4:15, 8:39-9:00).
US Connection: The group is linked to a Michigan-based app called 10X Votes, promoted by US Ambassador Pete Hoystra. David Parker has stated that this technology inspired the Centurion Project and that the American group has been collaborating with him behind the scenes (0:46-1:21, 5:04-5:23).
Political Implications: The video highlights that while using an app is not illegal, the unauthorized access to and use of the official voter list is. There is concern that the leaked data could be used to create fraudulent signatures for the petition, casting doubt on the integrity of the entire separatist process (6:26-6:52, 8:15-8:37).
Government Response: The narrator points out that Premier Danielle Smith and her government have been supportive of the separatist movement by lowering the signature threshold for a referendum. Smith has denied personal knowledge of the data breach or the specific meeting where the app and voter list were discussed (1:35-1:58, 3:24-3:48, 10:42-11:06).

The Data Breach (0:07 - 2:06): The Centurion Project, an Alberta separatist group, reportedly used a voter-targeting app called 10X Votes to illegally access the private data of approximately 2.9 million Albertans. The data included sensitive information from the official provincial list of electors, leading to an emergency injunction from the Court of King's Bench.
The Ambassador's Connection (0:46 - 1:12): Pete Hoekstra, while serving as the chair of the Michigan Republican Party, actively promoted the 10X Votes app at various rallies. While he claims he was unaware of any connection to the Centurion Project, the video argues that his involvement with the technology network involved in this breach makes him an unreliable diplomatic representative (3:19 - 4:42).
Foreign Interference Concerns (4:42 - 5:58): The video frames this incident as part of a larger, alarming pattern of foreign interference, pointing to reported meetings between U.S. officials and Alberta separatists. It suggests that such activities threaten Canadian sovereignty and democratic infrastructure.
Calls for Accountability (6:01 - 10:25): The narrator demands that the federal government take firm action, suggesting that Global Affairs should formally document the issue and consider declaring Hoekstra a persona non grata. It also critiques the Danielle Smith government for its role in fostering an environment where such breaches could occur.
Conclusion
The video contends that regardless of legal intent, the ambassador's association with the compromised app has irreparably damaged his diplomatic standing. It concludes by calling for transparency from Ottawa, accountability for the Alberta government, and a formal investigation into the 10X Votes network.
