EVIDENCE SUGGESTS UCP JOINED APRIL 16 CENTURION PROJECT MEETING; FORMER PREMIER’S DATA SHARED
https://www.albertandpcaucus.ca/news/post/evidence-suggests-ucp-joined-april-16-centurion-project-meeting-former-premier-s-data-shared
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.

>Alberta’s New Democrats have passed this recording on to the RCMP as they continue their investigation.

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
At this point, Canadians are witnessing one of the worst crashes on the public stage in history.

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.” …

Analysis: There's no road map for where Alberta's riding boundary controversy is headed next
CBC’s Jason Markusoff follows up with the UCP Gerrymandering campaign, bringing us the details behind the majority and minority reports, and how the UCP are setting the stage for politicians to redraw the ridings.
If anything, I disagree with the headline, and I say that the road map is absolutely in full colour with legends attached. Canadians understand that politicians are always motivated to change goal posts in their favour. Even a layperson will understand that an absolute priority is to reduce the effort it takes for a politician’s voters to get them re-elected, and to ensure the process repeats in their favour over and over again.
In a farcical universe, if a politician could choose to have 1 vote count as 5000, provided they had absolute understanding of how to manipulate that 1 vote, and the world accepted this arrangement, they would choose this universe. Hence there are norms in place - voluntary by design - in the assumption that the politician would not willingly destroy personal credibility to interfere with the Process designed to build and maintain Legitimacy.
Here the UCP are indeed attacking that Process, and in turn reveal that Legitimacy does not matter to them. Danielle Smith’s UCP are engaged in Institutional Combat. They are prepared to maintain and defend any system to hold power. On the other hand, the UCP will attack and destroy any system that is perceived to be a hurdle to power.
> Smith has blown by political norms elsewhere, becoming the first Alberta premier to repeatedly use the notwithstanding clause, using legislation to nullify a court challenge to the referendum that separatists are pursuing, and even passing a law to make sure a former minister couldn’t name his fledgling party “Progressive Conservative.”
I would add to this list how the UCP have disarmed the Office of the Ethics Commissioner, Elections Alberta, and interfered with the Office of the Auditor General.
As hard as it may be to hear, the map charts a course to fascism.

Analysis: There's no road map for where Alberta's riding boundary controversy is headed next
CBC’s Jason Markusoff follows up with the UCP Gerrymandering campaign, bringing us the details behind the majority and minority reports, and how the UCP are setting the stage for politicians to redraw the ridings.
If anything, I disagree with the headline, and I say that the road map is absolutely in full colour with legends attached. Canadians understand that politicians are always motivated to change goal posts in their favour. Even a layperson will understand that an absolute priority is to reduce the effort it takes for a politician’s voters to get them re-elected, and to ensure the process repeats in their favour over and over again.
In a farcical universe, if a politician could choose to have 1 vote count as 5000, provided they had absolute understanding of how to manipulate that 1 vote, and the world accepted this arrangement, they would choose this universe. Hence there are norms in place - voluntary by design - in the assumption that the politician would not willingly destroy personal credibility to interfere with the Process designed to build and maintain Legitimacy.
Here the UCP are indeed attacking that Process, and in turn reveal that Legitimacy does not matter to them. Danielle Smith’s UCP are engaged in Institutional Combat. They are prepared to maintain and defend any system to hold power. On the other hand, the UCP will attack and destroy any system that is perceived to be a hurdle to power.
> Smith has blown by political norms elsewhere, becoming the first Alberta premier to repeatedly use the notwithstanding clause, using legislation to nullify a court challenge to the referendum that separatists are pursuing, and even passing a law to make sure a former minister couldn’t name his fledgling party “Progressive Conservative.”
I would add to this list how the UCP have disarmed the Office of the Ethics Commissioner, Elections Alberta, and interfered with the Office of the Auditor General.
As hard as it may be to hear, the map charts a course to fascism.
