RCMP lay non-criminal charge against Alberta MLA Thomas Dang

An Edmonton MLA who admitted he used the premier's birth date to "hack" Alberta's COVID-19 records system has been charged under the province's Health Information Act. Thomas Dang, who represents Edmonton-South, resigned from the NDP caucus in December when RCMP first announced the investigation. Dang faces a non-criminal charge "for illegally attempting to access private information contained in the Alberta Health Services vaccine portal," RCMP spokesperson Fraser Logan said in a news release.
