Fake Recall in Lethbridge

The Calgary Herald posted a story about the Fake Recall1 yesterday, in which I was quoted:

“I’m not aware of anyone actually being able to sign the petition,” said Jeff Milner, a Lethbridge-East resident.

Milner was part of a group who had submitted a petition of their own to recall Neudorf, a United Conservative Party MLA, to Elections Alberta. But because Elections Alberta approved Tanner’s petition, the group’s petition was rejected.

Milner told Postmedia in December he believes the recall campaign was orchestrated to prevent “a real recall petition,” such as the one organized by him and others, from moving forward.

I also did an interview with the CBC but I after the amount of time it’s been, I’m not sure it’s ever going to air.

The Great Recall Caper

I’ve been working on this video for the past few days.

From my video description:

On November 25, 2025, Lethbridge-East got an active recall petition campaign for Nathan Neudorf, but not everything is as it appears. Follow the unraveling of a real life conspiracy in this short explainer video.

As far as how I feel about the whole thing, it’s disappointing but I think that a fake recall might be more politically poisonous to Neudorf than our actual recall would have been.

I know this isn’t much of a consolation to folks that wanted to help but if you’re one of those people, consider signing up to help with the Alberta Funds Public Schools or the coal mining petition1.

Genny Steed and the Fake Recall

I played a part in handing out the pieces, but this guy put them together:

[I]f you’re going to do shifty things, don’t brag about it to friends, because eventually someone is going to say something in passing, and there’s no way to put that toothpaste back in the tube.

Yesterday, I was emailing back and forth with another person who has also been investigating this situation, and received some very interesting information:

The rumour is (and this is just a rumour — I have no idea the reputation of the people spreading it) that she approached Ryan Tanner because she is friends with him and he doesn’t have a Facebook account. I’m looking into the rumour more asking around to try and find the person that said it.

Needless to say, we found what we were looking for.

Update: It turns out that Ryan Tanner has a Facebook account–it’s just one that is dormant/private. It has only one public facing post since it was started in 2007.
