How Did an Alberta Separatist Group Get Its Hands on the Voter List? | The Walrus
"The list of electors is sacrosanct because it constitutes the political unit that elects a democratic government. It cannot be stated more forcefully than that, but it bears repeating for emphasis."
"Alberta's democracy was stolen. It was sold for profit. And loaded up onto a far-right mobilization app by a pro-sovereignty group called the Centurion Project."
"Parker argued at his Centurion Project's opening at the Edmonton Oilfield Technical that traditional methods of campaigning would not suffice for their separatist petition process."
Democracy encompasses concepts like freedom and equality, but at its core, it is represented by the list of electors. This list includes the names, addresses, and voter IDs of eligible voters. It is crucial for electing a democratic government. In Alberta, the Centurion Project, linked to the MAGA movement, exploited this by using a voter ID tool to mobilize support for a separatist cause, bypassing traditional democratic campaigning methods.
