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.

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.

Dutch YouTube creators behind Alberta separatist videos getting millions of views
Albertans end up bombarded with targeted messaging that amounts to Propaganda or Slopaganda, funded by dark money.
This week, a report by the Media Ecosystem Observatory (MEO), a joint project between the University of Toronto and McGill University in Montreal looking into Canadian media, identified 20 YouTube channels as part of a co-ordinated network focused on separatism in western Canadian provinces, and other political issues.
The report noted they use near-identical scripts and dubbed them “slopaganda.”
Altogether, the accounts have garnered roughly 40 million views.
The report says many of the videos contain “frequent and obvious lies, drawing on real news stories to reach exaggerated conclusions designed to exploit political divisions.” The report did not identify the individuals behind the apparent network, citing a lack of “identifying information to real humans or organizations nor ties to the secession movement in Alberta.”
“I think it’s disturbing that these voices are able to insert themselves in the conversation, and their interest is not to further the democratic discourse or … have a healthy, authentic conversation,” said Chris Ross, a senior analyst at the Media Ecosystem Observatory.
“They’re putting themselves in the middle of that, misleading Albertans, Canadians, and they’re just doing it to make money.”

Lawyers Group Wants a Criminal Probe of Edmonton’s Top Cop
Tyee’s Charles Rusnell follows up on the fall out from Edmonton Police Service’s Chief Warren Driechel, and his office’s notorious attempt to publicly pressure the Alberta Crown Prosecution Service and the Criminal Justice System.
Certainly, the article deserves a read because the Chief’s actions in the Rattlesnake case are characterized as “institutional combat”. I’d highlight that the Americans are very familiar with this, because some of their states elect District Attorneys, Sheriffs, and Judges. The US invites this “public brinksmanship” to pit institutions and the public against one another for fame and votes. And, if this is what Chief Driechel wishes to introduce to Alberta, he can always resign now and seek work in the US.
Driechel’s actions have damaged the Criminal Justice system’s core principles, and institutions. Albertans should remember that two senior Crown Prosecutors were terminated, and Justice Minister Mickey Amery denied any involvement in that decision. Also, Premier Danielle Smith publicly supported Driechel, and it’s unclear what her involvement was in yet another assault on Alberta’s institutions.

Here, the allegations take us to Melewka Homes Ltd, owned by Lewis Semashkewich and John Semashkewich. The pair did business with a Mohamed Eldassouki. Plot twist: Eldassouki apparently is the brother-in-law of the perpetual protagonist of capitalism, Sam Mraiche. The Semashkewiches go on to allege that Mraiche introduced himself as Fred, and suggested that he had connections with high ranked officials, and he could pull contracts awarded to Melweka at any time. Fred went on to make demands for large sums of money.
Unfortunately, some of these contracts appear to involve the Addiction Recovery Centres that were once handled by AHS. But, since AHS may have been shattered into pieces for allegedly investigating the CorruptCare cluster of contracts, it has since been replaced by Recovery Alberta in 2024. At this point, it beggars belief that the UCP, Danielle Smith, and her caucus do not either resign or at least take steps to mitigate what is clearly an out-of-control conflicts of interest.

Alberta teachers’ union files labour complaint, alleges province engaged in ‘bad-faith bargaining’
The UCP used the Notwithstanding Clause to take away teachers rights to negotiate for better working conditions, and to enable them to negotiate in bad faith.
I think this bad faith is similar to the UCP’s use of legislation to punch a hole in Canadian retirement funds when AIMCo gambled away around $1.3 Bln. Links below.
Jason Schilling, the president of the ATA, said at a news conference on Friday that he believes the government is attempting to “rewrite its own commitments,” and that the ATA wants clarification on what was agreed to at the bargaining table regarding the plan to bring in additional teachers.
“What was told at the bargaining table and then was commented afterwards, it seemed to be two different things and we need clarity on them,” he said.
“What will come out of the complaint is hopefully that we hold the government [accountable] for what they said.”
…
In the ATA’s recent email to its members, it said the “ATA understood — and TEBA’s bargaining conduct implied — that these 3,000 teachers were additional to the staffing already funded and announced in Budget 2025.”
Schilling said the government “insists” that the phrase “net new” meant any increase in teachers over the prior year, even if those positions were already funded by Budget 2025.
“If that was their interpretation, then nothing was new at all,” he said.
“The 3,000 teachers they pointed to during the bargaining were already announced, already budgeted and already counted in the 2025 budget.”

Alberta legislature passes bill invoking Charter override for fourth time
Speaking to the bill earlier in the evening, NDP critic Kathleen Ganley called it “offensive to the rule of law and to our entire democracy” to use the overarching power of the notwithstanding clause on transgender youth who are “already at a higher risk of suicide.”
“It was put in the Constitution to be used judiciously, to be used rarely, to be used only in exceptional circumstances,” Ganley told the house.
“I don’t think anyone ever envisioned the possibility it might be used four times in a month by a government.”
…
The Canadian Medical Association has challenged the law in court, saying it violates a doctor’s right to freedom of conscience.
The Alberta Medical Association has repeatedly said puberty blockers do not render a person infertile or sterile and protect transgender children from more permanent changes that come with puberty.
Some families of transgender kids involved in a separate lawsuit that challenged the health-care restrictions have said their kids will be devastated once the law comes into effect, and some have said they will need to leave the province for the safety of their child.

Country music star plans petition calling for ban on Alberta coal mining
Lund, who still lives and ranches in Taber area, near the banks of the Old Man River, downstream from the coal mines would be located, says he’s been fighting against coal mining for more than five years, but the campaign took on new urgency with news the government is developing a new coal mining policy.
“It’s called CIMI, it’s called the Coal Industry Modernization Initiative, which so far has only been consulting industry and not conservation groups, not the public,” said Lund.
