Carney, Smith Discuss Data Breach & Separatist Push

About this episode

Mark Carney and Danielle Smith discuss a significant data breach affecting Alberta's voters list and the implications of separatist movements in the region.

Prime Minister Mark Carney and Alberta Premier Danielle Smith discuss a major data breach involving Albertas voters list, shared by a separatist group called the Centurion Project. The breach has led to investigations by Albertas privacy commissioner, Elections Alberta, and the RCMP. Separatists have gathered over 300,000 signatures on an independence petition, surpassing the threshold needed. Carney and Smith aim to keep talks rolling amidst this tension, with the federal push for a new oil pipeline to BCs coast potentially easing separatist frustrations.
