    From Jen Gerson, Canadians learn more from the Alberta Electoral List data leak. Essentially, Elections Alberta was notified by Gerson of a potential leak of sensitive data as early as March 31, 2026. But, according to a response from Elections Alberta dated April 10, 2026, the complaint was not pursued.

    I would note that given the severity of the leak, and my previous comments of how Elections Alberta has been disarmed by Danielle Smith’s UCP, news of Elections Alberta declining to act on a credible complaint and leaving sensitive data exposed for a month should raise alarms across the country.

    As noted from the initial reporting, the Elections Alberta data was processed by third party. How much more data was gleaned about Albertans, and the products of research and analysis that resulted may never be fully known.

  9. It's getting really lame to see organizations hide behind a spokesperson when they frantically try to dodge any and all responsibility for things that went wrong.

    At this point I'd respect a yeah we fucked up big time and we took <these> actionable points to mitigate and prevent future incidents. Rather than another 'your privacy and security are of utmost importance to us blah blah...'

    (Especially if they failed to implement basic measures in the first place)
