There are 9 referendum questions which is unusual. Normally referendums have 1 important question instead of flooding the zone.
I’ll limit my focus to question 5:
- Do you support the Government of Alberta introducing a law requiring individuals to provide proof of citizenship, such as a passport, birth certificate, or citizenship card, to vote in an Alberta provincial election?
The Alberta government is working on a solution to a non-problem. Following in MAGA’s footsteps on this issue. There is very little voter fraud with our current system of voters lists and wide range of acceptable ID. Adding more hurdles is an attempt to tip the balance against voters who don’t have one of the now limited list of accepted ID.
Most people I meet here seem to be generally resentful of immigration and turn a blind eye to the UCP’s blundering. It always comes back to “bUt ThE nDp” when pointing it out.
There is nothing too hard for people to ignore once they’ve picked their team, and frankly the cruelty is the point for a lot of them. Empathy is not a strong point for Albertans.
