The Republican Party of Alberta is a registered party in Alberta. They gave the voting list to a rightwing nut job. [View all]

FFS.

The most unhinged people in the province may now have access to the personal information of everybody who lives here, and there's nothing we can do about it

The RPA got the list because they are a registered party.

On Thursday, Elections Alberta obtained a court injunction to force a separatist group to take down an online database that was populated from the electoral list that is generally only available to select political staff who need access to that data to do legal voter contact and outreach. Access is limited because the voter file contains reams of personal information, including full names, addresses, electoral and local polling districts, phone numbers and emails. Typically, provincial parties will each get a copy of the voter file, and there are strict controls over who can see what, and how personal information can be used.
