I have warned for years that Alberta would eventually reach a breaking point with Ottawa because the federal government has systematically undermined the very industries that support Canada’s economy. Now we are seeing separatist tensions escalating to a new level after Elections Alberta secured a court order forcing a pro-sovereignty organization known as the Centurion Project to remove a searchable voter database containing information tied to millions of Albertans.

The establishment media is focusing narrowly on “privacy concerns,” but they are ignoring the larger political reality underneath this entire story. Separatist organizations do not seek voter data for entertainment purposes. They want to identify, organize, mobilize, and communicate directly with people who may support Alberta sovereignty outside the traditional political system.
