Alberta Separatist David Parker Not Cooperating in Electors List Probe

Elections Alberta says 2.9 million residents’ data was misused as the RCMP opened a separate investigation.

  • On Tuesday, Elections Alberta CEO Gordon McClure confirmed that David Parker is refusing to cooperate with the investigation into unauthorized use of the province's voter list.
  • Investigators allege the Centurion Project, founded by Parker, misused an official voter list containing personal information of nearly 3 million Albertans by providing unauthorized access to hundreds of supporters.
  • Elections Alberta has issued 566 cease-and-desist letters to individuals identified as accessing the database, which authorities traced to an official list originally provided to the Republican Party of Alberta.
  • While the RCMP and the provincial privacy commissioner conduct separate investigations, Parker has refused to sign a statutory declaration confirming he will comply with the agency's order to cease using the data.
  • Misusing elector information carries penalties of up to $100,000 or jail time, while Premier Danielle Smith faces opposition questions regarding the government's role and the integrity of the upcoming October referendum.
