Ok, so for Kingston if you don't like the Hip, how about the Headstones?

Hugh Dillon is actually a family member, seen them many times.

Nice! He’s had some success in acting too, no? I know I saw him in something, sketchy memory is saving maybe The Expanse?

CTV cop series 'Flashpoint' and the sheriff in a few seasons of Yellowstone off the top of my head.

Since Forever Canada doesn't specify who they mean by "the separatists", accusations that it is illegal might be premature. There are probably "separatists" sitting in the legislature; it's more than likely that there are some in the hierarchy of constituency associations but there are rules about who can get copies and what they are to be used for. People are sometimes surprised by how many have access to the list.

The leader of the Alberta prosperity project is also a UCP riding association president. He would technically have access as well. Now they legally only access that information for certain reasons. So it remains to be seen given how later the news was (11pm MST) im sure more details will come out today

Edit:
Another statement that seps created a search engine of every registered elector with the data.

And here's the scoop, David Parker, working with the Rebel as part of their project centurion campaign to support separation accessed the voter list.

SCOOP: Elections Alberta investigating separatists for accessing electors list

An elections watchdog investigator showed up with police to the April 29 launch of David Parker's Centurion Project to follow up on a cease-and-desist letter.

EDIT: elections AB has released a statement, according to EA the list was provided by a political party to Parker's group, which would be illegal use.
