🇨🇦 Elections Alberta Leaks Millions of Addresses — Domestic Violence Victims Forced to Flee Again

Elections Alberta handed the Centurion Project an online database containing names and addresses of millions of Albertans based on the voters list. It sat online long enough that no one knows how many people accessed it. Now domestic violence survivors are relocating in panic, breaking leases, and redoing safety plans because the state couldn't protect basic privacy. Two victims have already contacted one Calgary organization for relocation help. Police officers, doctors, politicians, and anyone who ever made an enemy now has their home address floating in the digital ether.

This is what happens when your bureaucracy treats citizen data like a public utility. No accountability, no safeguards, just performative apologies after lives are endangered. And the chilling effect? People are now weighing whether voting is worth the risk of being doxxed by their own government. Democracy dies in incompetence.
