Episode Details

Three million Albertans may have had their personal info leaked — names, addresses, even voter IDs — after a voter list was exposed through a public database. The data, originally shared with the Republican Party of Alberta, ended up in the hands of the Centurion Project, sparking a proposed class-action lawsuit against the Alberta government, Elections Alberta, and the party for failing to protect sensitive information. Lawyers warn this isn’t just a glitch — it’s dangerous, especially for vulnerable groups like domestic violence survivors, judges, and journalists. Authorities including the RCMP and provincial privacy watchdog are investigating. The lawsuit names Centurion Project leader David Parker and unnamed defendants, pending judicial approval. This incident raises urgent questions about data security, accountability, and what happens when privacy is breached on this scale.
