Alberta NDP claims 2 UCP members attended virtual Centurion Project meeting
The UCP says staff attended a meeting where organizers claimed the voters list was obtained legally, as Elections Alberta and police investigate.
- On Tuesday, Official Opposition Leader Naheed Nenshi presented evidence that a UCP caucus official attended an April 16 virtual meeting with the Centurion Project, contradicting Premier Danielle Smith's claim she learned of the leak via social media.
- Nenshi identified the official as Arundeep Sandhu, director of stakeholder relations, based on screenshots from the call and forwarded the video to the RCMP, noting the law requires authorities to be alerted to potential breaches.
- The UCP caucus acknowledged staff attended the April 16 call, stating organizers claimed the data was obtained legally and that staff had "no reason to believe the website in question was unlawful" at the time.
- Nenshi alleged the meeting was led by Take Back Alberta founder David Parker and featured a Centurion app demonstration, claiming the "scandal is far worse than we imagined" and accusing senior officials of knowing about the breach.
- Both Elections Alberta and the RCMP are actively investigating the alleged voter-data breach, with probes determining legal ramifications as scrutiny of the party's handling intensifies.
