Smith said permanent residents and non-citizens living in Alberta will have no marker displayed on their card.

Yeah because law enforcement wont abuse that.

Albertans will need to provide proof of citizenship or immigration status when applying for or renewing a driver's licence, according to the province.

Minister of Service Alberta and Red Tape Reduction Dale Nally said the federal government was consulted on the change.

“Minister of Service Alberta and Red Tape Reduction” sounds kinda maple maga

Driver's licences incorporating Alberta health-care card information will roll out at the same time, Smith said.

"This will also provide additional security around health-care numbers," Smith said.

Smith said there are over 530,000 more health-care numbers than there are people living in Alberta.

Yeah if you are having difficulties with health-care numbers and the population that is an issue, but you wanna bet that the 530 000 number is in relation to people who do not have a license? Here in Saskatchewan we get free stickers to put on our health cards when they are up for renewal, I am willing to bet that you will have to renew your license to keep your health card up to date.

Hmmm creating rhetoric against an identifiable underclass, then requiring the class to carry identification that labels them as a member of the undesirable underclass..... Where have I seen that before?!?
