Danielle Smith promises Alberta referendum over immigration, Constitution changes | Globalnews.ca - Lemmy.ca

There are 9 referendum questions which is unusual. Normally referendums have 1 important question instead of flooding the zone [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flood_the_zone]. I’ll limit my focus to question 5: >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.

How can Alberta hold a “referendum” on the Canadian Constitution? What power does a province have?

None, as a pretext to separation it’s designed to pass things that are out of it’s jurisdiction so that it can say Canada is stopping it.

The constituent should view it as a referendum on separation.
