Well, well. Alberta’s UCP wanted to drop privacy standards surrounding health and health cards by tying Alberta health cards to Driver’s Licenses.
Besides the crush of people jamming the local Registrar’s for their license, some of whom face multiple unexpected hurdles before getting theirs, Albertans are learning that their Health coverage expires.

Worse, now the simple act of handing out one’s Driver’s License to, say, rent out a vehicle, means you’re also handing out your credentials for your health and your citizenship status. Do you think that local private businesses have raised their standard of care concerning your private information? Do you think that these local private businesses will accept greater liability for any misuse or mishandling of your very important personal credentials? I don’t think so.
Do you think the publicly disarmed Alberta Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner of Alberta is even remotely equipped or consulted for this real world scenario of privacy violations?
Do you think your local car rental company should have your Health Card information so you can rent a car?
Rent a pressure washer?
Rent a U-Haul?
Take that test drive at your local car dealer?
What might you feel if your Driver’s License/Proof of Citizenship/Health Care Card is now automatically stolen and sold in bulk online? Do you think you can cancel it and get a new one? How many times do you think you might have to do this? How many times do you think you can actually do this?
How do you feel when you learn that this new regime for Alberta Driver’s Licenses was to…address fraud?
It’s almost like the UCP forgot what compartmentalization means…or why it was once considered a safety feature to separate parts of your work life and personal life to avoid being hacked.

No. No. Nine times no. Five very smart Albertans, from across the province, and across the political spectrum, tell me why they think Danielle Smith’s nine referendum questions are racist, or useless, or both. And we ask - why is there no No campaign as yet??

Next up - Bill C-12. Thursday night, I rose in the Senate to call out the so-called “reforms” to our immigration & refugee systems, which have been condemned by civil society groups across Canada. I was the only Senator to give a speech in opposition to the bill - perhaps because, as an Albertans, I have already witnessed the dangers of demonizing new Canadians and asylum seekers. https://youtu.be/U1QAtaBy-sM?si=np2nmi9xbGJs1Jdk #C12 #BillC12 #cdnpoli #SenateofCanada #SenCa #Alberta #ableg #abpoli #DanielleSmith #immigration #ICE

I’m so sorry - I’m a bit behind on my Mastodon posting. Last week was crazy busy. So let me give you a recap of all the trouble I’ve been making in the Senate. First up - my exchange with Justice Minister Sean Fraser about Premier Danielle Smith’s threat to stop funding new superior court judges in Alberta. https://youtu.be/4qW6MudvW7M?si=mM_Sk-vk7xUl9THv #cdnpoli #abpoli #LCJC #Alberta #SenateOfCanada #DanielleSmith #SenCa #ableg

In the wee small hours of the morning, the Alberta legislature passed a bill that preemptively invoked the notwithstanding clause, ordering striking teachers back to work, and imposing on them a contract they had already rejected. Today, by coincidence, the Senate's Transport and Communications committee began a study of strikes in the transport sector. Since we had two great expert witnesses before us - labour lawyer Paul Champ and business professor Ian Lee - I seized the opportunity to ask what precedent Danielle Smith's bill might set. https://youtu.be/oKSYDrSCx8U?si=ItXTHkQemJOqZLSW #cdnpoli #SenateofCanada #ableg #abpoli #ATA #AirCanada #Alberta #DanielleSmith
