Smith said permanent residents and non-citizens living in Alberta will have no marker displayed on their card.

Yeah because law enforcement wont abuse that.

Albertans will need to provide proof of citizenship or immigration status when applying for or renewing a driver's licence, according to the province.

Minister of Service Alberta and Red Tape Reduction Dale Nally said the federal government was consulted on the change.

“Minister of Service Alberta and Red Tape Reduction” sounds kinda maple maga

Driver's licences incorporating Alberta health-care card information will roll out at the same time, Smith said.

"This will also provide additional security around health-care numbers," Smith said.

Smith said there are over 530,000 more health-care numbers than there are people living in Alberta.

Yeah if you are having difficulties with health-care numbers and the population that is an issue, but you wanna bet that the 530 000 number is in relation to people who do not have a license? Here in Saskatchewan we get free stickers to put on our health cards when they are up for renewal, I am willing to bet that you will have to renew your license to keep your health card up to date.

It's sad that she KNOWS she can be so transparently evil and get away with it.

This is of course nothing more than a new way to demonize immigrants, aka "damn foriners takin' our jobs!"

The healthcare number is the lube to ease it in.

The 530k number is a complete lie. She's already been called out on it, and it doesn't matter.

She should honestly have a handlebar moustache to twirl, except that of course it would make her a tranny.

As a person who is Trans myself I understand how you thinking her using the car part slang is cool but I personally really dislike it. Your other points are well taken though.
