Braid: All-consuming referendum noise masks move to patient-pay health care (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The drumbeat of referendum publicity has swept many problems under the rug in this province. We’re in the midst of profound and dubious changes to services that Albertans depend upon. In normal times, these would be top of mind. But the Oct. 19 vote, and the blizzard of news around it, doesn’t leave much breathing room. Radical upheaval is bubbling, especially in health care.

Braid: 'No to the Nine' campaigner hits out at immigration questions in Alberta referendum (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Veteran political campaigner Stephen Carter urges Albertans to reject the government’s nine questions on immigration and constitutional matters. He figures the separation question, number 10, is already a guaranteed loss for the separatists in the campaign that ends with general voting Oct. 19.

Relentless social media campaigns will come from Russia, the U.S., and some players at h
Braid: Elections Alberta is gaining ground on huge referendum challenge (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Like many journalists, I specialize in leaving things to the last minute. So, at 10:20 on Friday morning, I finally tried to get a special mail-in ballot for the big referendum set for Oct. 19. The cutoff for requesting mail-in ballots was midnight Friday. I could have applied online but chose to call the number, 1‑877‑672‑1365. A friendly agent came on the line in four minutes. He took my details, gave me a confirmation number, and we were done. Your weekday lunchtime roundup of curated links,
