Nearly three million Albertans had their personal information sitting in a publicly searchable database, built by a separatist group on a voter list that was never theirs to have. The biggest voter data breach in Canadian history. Erika and Shannon walk through the wrap of the Spring Sitting, then dig into the Centurion Project, the Republican Party of Alberta, and how a list locked behind the Election Act ended up on the open internet. They close on the bigger picture, a separation petition with 302,000 signatures, a new top-secret CSIS clearance for the Premier, and a Kremlin disinfo report all landing in the same week. What the government can do now, what it can't, and what the real fix looks like in the fall.
