Former Alberta premier Jason Kenney says reports that Alberta separatists are targeting and spreading his personal information has prompted him to alter his security but won’t stop him from speaking out.
“I’m not someone to live in fear,” Kenney said Thursday in a phone interview from Ottawa.

Earlier this week, Alberta’s Opposition NDP revealed a group seeking to have Alberta leave Confederation held a virtual meeting on April 16 to show a database containing names and home addresses of nearly three million Alberta voters.
The NDP said it has a video recording of the meeting and, in order to show how the app worked, Kenney’s name was searched and his home address was shown to everyone.

The Centurion Project was not legally allowed to have the list, and Elections Alberta went to court and had the app shut down.
The agency and the RCMP are investigating. The Centurion Project has said it relied on a third party for the data and has promised to co-operate with investigators.
Kenney, an outspoken opponent of Alberta’s separatist movement, said when he saw his information circulating, he knew there would be trouble.
