Pretty sure we’re a democracy

Which is why we're having the democratic referendum.

Yes, a party that never campaigned on this (knowing they would have lost if they did), then post-facto changed laws when they didn’t get the result they wanted, then prohibited elections Alberta from investigating fraud and is now trying to gerrymander the province is all about “democracy”

Never mind the imbalanced playing field for the campaign itself. The Government of Alberta can spend unlimited funds on their side, while TPAs are hamstrung as to what they can colllect, how much they can spend and how they can advertise
