Councillor Landon Johnston's Website Contains a Graphic "David Parker for Governor"
Edit:
See Landon's response below, it turns out this is just an unfortunate coincidence. The David Parker graphic was a random name the template creator came up with, unassociated with the scumbag David Parker. This post is staying up, it seems to have spurred a good discussion.

In light of Johnston's recent remarks that he is "still undecided on the whole thing, like plenty of Albertans"^1, I remembered a moment from his AMA during the Gondek Recall where a user pointed out that the metadata attached to his graphics led to a UCP friendly consultancy named Wellington Advocacy:

Notice how in the comments that Johnston completely fails to address the central concern of the connection between his recall and Wellington. Much like he is now having trouble expressing an opinion on separation.
Then I decided to do a dive into his campaign website, thankfully still online, to see if there was anything else to be found, and low and behold I found the graphic “David Parker for Governor”.^2
I'm pretty sure we all know who David Parker is, but for anyone unfamiliar, he's the guy who allegedly committed a crime by publicly exposing the private info of every Albertan who's registered to vote, and is a prominent Alberta Separatist with personal ties to the Premier.^3
So what's the deal here? Has David Parker been planning an American takeover since at least 2019 (that date on the directory folder)? Is Johnston in on it too, or is he just a puppet for a powerful political machine in a smokey backroom? I think we deserve some answers here.
Remember kids, Wordpress Websites all have publicly accessible image directories, so don't upload anything that compromises you.
