Carney should state what ‘leverage’ Canada has in trade talks, Poilievre says ctvnews.ca/politics/artic…

*** 2019. 2024. 2026. The Same Name Keeps Appearing *** At the centre of it is a single firm, Sovereign North Strategies, an Alberta political consulting company. Sovereign North's Cameron Davies and the firm's associates have accumulated a documented record spanning election commissioner penalties in Alberta, an election regulator's enforcement action in British Columbia, and an active RCMP investigation. Here is what is established. 2019, Alberta: Alberta's Election Commissioner fined Cameron Davies, then co-campaign manager of the Jeff Callaway UCP leadership campaign, $15,000 across two obstruction offences during the investigation into that campaign. He was then fined a further $12,000 across six offences for providing funds to other individuals, including furnishing $9,000 to former Callaway CFO Lenore Eaton, who donated it in the names of Happy Mann and two of his family members, who then made donations to the Callaway campaign in their own names. Total fines: $27,000. August 2024, British Columbia: BC United's campaign operation hired Sovereign North Strategies. The firm's work produced a fake website, FireJohnRustad.ca, and a physical mailout, both falsely presented as the work of disgruntled BC Conservatives, targeting then-BC Conservative leader John Rustad and MLA Teresa Wat. The mailout contained false statements about Wat. Elections BC's investigation confirmed both were commissioned by BC United's campaign manager, Mark Werner, and his deputy, Adam Wilson. When Elections BC attempted to reach Werner, he did not respond. April 8, 2026, British Columbia: Elections BC formally released its findings. BC United was fined $4,500 for transmitting false statements to affect election results. The firm named was Sovereign North Strategies. CBC News reported that Sovereign North's Cameron Davies, by then serving as president of the Republican Party of Alberta, could not be reached for comment. That same day, Juno News hosted the first BC Conservative Party leadership debate at the Anvil Centre in New Westminster. Four of the six candidates attended. The two frontrunners did not: Peter Milobar, whose campaign manager at the time was Mark Werner, held a rally in Nanaimo. Caroline Elliott, a former BC United vice-president, held a rally in Kelowna and cited Milobar's non-attendance as her reason for pulling out. The four candidates on stage criticized both for not showing up. April 12, 2026, British Columbia: Milobar's campaign released a statement confirming Werner was stepping back from his role, citing his family business. Milobar had stated on April 9 that preliminary discussions with Werner confirmed he had no knowledge of the dirty tricks operation. April 27 to 29, 2026, Alberta: A pro-independence group called the Centurion Project, led by longtime political organizer David Parker, launched a publicly searchable app containing personal information of 2.9 million Albertans registered on the provincial List of Electors, including names, home addresses, voter IDs, and ridings. The List of Electors also contains phone numbers; the Centurion Project disputed whether those were accessible through its app. Elections Alberta's investigation confirmed the data matched the Republican Party of Alberta's copy of the list, the party whose president is Cameron Davies. Elections Alberta traces each distributed list using seeded fictitious names. Those fake names matched the RPA's copy. How the list moved from the RPA to the Centurion Project remains unconfirmed. Elections Alberta's own lawyer told the court: "I don't know whether it was provided by a representative of the Republican Party. I don't know if the list was left on a desk and somebody picked it up." Davies told The Canadian Press the RPA issued a notice to the Centurion Project before the injunction. "We will comply and assist any investigation," he said. April 30, 2026, Alberta Court of King's Bench Justice John Little granted Elections Alberta an ex parte emergency injunction. The database came down that afternoon. The Centurion Project and the RPA have four days to identify every person or entity that accessed or received the list. The RCMP has opened an investigation. Alberta's Privacy Commissioner stated there is "a concerning gap in Alberta's privacy laws" regarding political parties. None of this is alleged. The fines are paid, the findings are public, and the RCMP is investigating. The facts speak for themselves.
