Alberta also voted yes to the other nine, which means we voted to be as shitty and racist as possible while remaining.

Daylight saving time and abolishing a useless crony Senate is hardly racist.

    We have fixed Daylight Saving Time in Manitoba, no referendum needed. Why does Smith need a mandate for that? Is she so incapable of doing the job she had to waste taxpayer time and money farming out that question? Or is she too cowardly to make a stand?

    And while the Senate question is actually interesting, this is something Alberta on its own has no control over, and a constitutional convention will probably not pass anyway, so this is just more taxpayer money wasted on intellectual masturbation.

    Thankfully, there were other questions on this referendum, so it wasn't as much of a waste of money as it could have been, and now Albertans can defend themselves by saying only two-thirds of the questions on their referendum were racist!
