@That_Bebbzy_Guy @mojonewel @natnewswatch @albertaNDP @ElectionsAB They investigated if the list was improperly shared, it was. They know the Republican party did it because the salted names in the database, and they served C&D letters.
The RCMP got involved because it led to a massive breach of privacy, and potential identity fraud.

[George Stewart @ToGDionysus]

@That_Bebbzy_Guy @phoebegurl06 @mojonewel @natnewswatch @albertaNDP @ElectionsAB -It was reported the next day, not 2 weeks later

-The proof was obtained at a meeting that included people from Smith's team.

So once again, why didn't Smith's team tell her? Why is it the oppositions fault she is bad at her job?

@cgy_guy UAE owns their oil companies and doesn't pay out >60% of their profits to foreign shareholders. Norway has less oil and slower production than us, but their wealth fund is >64x larger than our heritage fund.

Do the math on how much income tax we paid through those years first.

@That_Bebbzy_Guy @mojonewel @natnewswatch @albertaNDP @ElectionsAB The UCP were warned this could be a problem when they passed Bill 54 and raised the requirements for Elections Alberta to start an investigation. A YEAR AGO.

Blaming the opposition rather than the actual people in power making policies that lead to this situation is crazy.

[George Stewart @ToGDionysus]

@tacobella22 @albertaNDP Official parties and MLAs have access to the list for things like this, there is a chain of responsbility if it gets misused.
Centurion gave it to EVERYONE, random people on the internet, private businesses, scammers, foreign governments.

@NorthernGal1991 @CSmartarsery @cody_willi65206 @thecritcomp @yegwave Signatures are checked for uniqueness and against the list of registered voters. Anyone without an Alberta address would have been excluded in validation, Validation dropped Forever Canada's signature count from 456k to 438k, and then contact verification dropped it to ~404k

[George Stewart @ToGDionysus]

@CSmartarsery @thecritcomp @yegwave You realize they validate each signature is unique and an eligible voter? The only thing they do random sampling on is calling/emailing to verify the people signed.

Forever Canada submitted 456,365 signatures, 438,568 were valid, 404,293 counted after sampling w/95% confidence.

[George Stewart @ToGDionysus]

@WesternIndepen1 @X_lifeGail I guess it's easier for some people to "collect signatures" when they have access to the information they need on every voter in Alberta to fraudulently sign them up.

[George Stewart @ToGDionysus]

@JonSedore Do the numbers line up? Claiming to have broken 177k at the end of March, 90 days into collection. And then supposedly gathering another 40% of your total count in the last 25% of remaining time? Conveniently after the list of electors is leaked by the Centurion project?

[George Stewart @ToGDionysus]

@johnwtomkinson @burr3276 Why are you counting Stay Free's signatures before they are validated?
Especially after claiming to jump 40% in the last few weeks, while groups advertised to join them to see the electors list and get 1,000 signatures "easy"

[George Stewart @ToGDionysus]

@JimboAlogo @ShaziGoalie It's actually 52,000 short of double
And only because they lowered the threshold from 294k to 177k, and increased collection time from 90 days to 120.

Under the old rules it would have failed.

Forever Canada got 100,000 more with a month less to collect them.

[George Stewart @ToGDionysus]

@thecritcomp @yegwave We'll see what the numbers are after verification.

And you think you guys broke 294k in 90 days? It was around day 90 that you people were crowing you passed the 177k mark, lol.

[George Stewart @ToGDionysus]

@thecritcomp @yegwave I didn't say the rules were the same. Stay Free got preferential treatment by having the threshold lowered by 120k signatures, an extra 30 days to collect, and a special exception to not have to pay the new $25,000 fee.

Lots of lone stay free canvassers sharing on X too.

[George Stewart @ToGDionysus]

@thecritcomp @yegwave Forever Canada needed ID, guideline updates put them closer to the front of instructions for clarity.

They also needed to witness the signature, the part that was excluded by court ruling was individual notarized affidavits (expensive), and that applied to both initiatives.

[George Stewart @ToGDionysus]

@YukonStrong @AvgYEG @albertaNDP If all we got was a text from centurion, it wouldn't be that big of a deal.

The fact is they gave access to the list unsupervised, rewarded pro-active canvassers with invite codes to give their friends/family access. And bragged about sending the list/app to foreign governments.

[George Stewart @ToGDionysus]

@JoanHansen40148 @casinodwarf @BertaProudDad They were verified, that's why the total announced count for Forever Canada was 438k, and verified was only 404k.

After verification, I would bet yours doesn't break the original 294k goal.

Dumb neighbor bragging about a crime with a 100k penalty or up to 5 years in prison.

[George Stewart @ToGDionysus]

@CoryBMorgan @RobNunn3 Probably should as he was giving out access to the electors list, opening up the potential for fraudulent signature collection. And APP folk (Run by the same Mitch who started the initiative) were advertising it.

[George Stewart @ToGDionysus]

@edwinhammeren @BrianRoemmele Gen AI without human creativity devalues human effort and fills platforms with uninteresting slop. AI powered tools are fine, so long as the output is human driven. When you take people out of the pipeline, it is no longer art, just a mathematical averaging of data.

[George Stewart @ToGDionysus]

@BrianRoemmele While the concept of the music not being played by people was new, it was still written and crafted by people.
When you completely remove life from the equation, no living being making creative decisions, there is nothing in the art to connect with. This isn't analogous to AI.

@deo_mister Counting is not their strong point, have you ever read their economic plan?

Apparently if you stop paying a tax, you keep it in the revenue AND add the money you aren't paying as extra, plus you keep things like the federal transfers the taxes contributed to. 1-1=3
