Important analysis of ballot question #8:
"It isn’t designed to give Alberta more leeway to improve our health-care system. All it seems to do is let the province get paid by our taxes ... to let private health insurance companies pick away at our wallets."
Sensing a theme, AB??

More from @CBCEdmonton ‘s piece on the University of Alberta slashing 100% of funding to their affiliated child care centres.
“It’s a real betrayal to have that support taken out from under you. It makes it hard to feel like you’re welcome at the University”
Shameful.

A lesson in scapegoating: Alberta’s referendum questions try to appease far-right supporters by painting a target on migrant families.
Join us next Wednesday to unpack why immigration is on the ballot—and why that matters.
