Alberta's governing United Conservative Party (UCP) is facing scrutiny after it was revealed that at least one caucus staff member participated in a virtual call last month with a separatist group. The group, which has not been named in verified reports, is now accused of publishing the province's voter list.
The UCP has denied any wrongdoing, stating that the staff member's attendance was not authorized and that the party does not condone the group's actions. The incident has raised questions about the security of voter data and the party's ties to fringe groups.
As of May 6, 2026, no official investigation has been announced, but the opposition has called for a full inquiry into the matter. The UCP has not provided further details on the staff member's role or the content of the call.
