In recent statements, Alberta officials have clarified that the questions posed in the upcoming referendum are not intended to exclude permanent residents or new Canadians. Schow, a representative involved in the preparations for the referendum, noted that these groups are part of the broader electorate and that their participation is welcomed in the democratic process.This clarification comes amidst discussions about the sense of inclusion and representation in the province, where demographic shifts have led to a growing population of new Canadians. The referendum itself is part of larger governance decisions within Alberta, and officials are keen to ensure that all eligible voters understand their role in this process. The communication from Schow aims to alleviate any misunderstandings that may have arisen regarding the referendum's intent and to foster a transparent environment leading up to the vote.
