So Alberta's latest proposed law would:
👉 Take power over citizen-led referendums from the chief electoral officer & give it to cabinet.
👉 Ban new political parties from using certain words in their names, including: 'conservative,' 'democratic,' 'liberal,' 'Republican,' and 'wild rose.'

Bill 14 is immensely complex. The amendments to the Citizen Initiative Act & its financial rules are esp complex. This is a deliberate strategy.
In other areas of the law we call this libel or regulatory chill.
This is a government that only pretends to believe in direct democracy. #ableg #abpoli
