Keith Wilson Calls on Elections Alberta to Enforce the Law Evenly — or Resign
Alberta independence leader Keith Wilson says Elections Alberta is applying referendum rules unevenly between pro-independence and pro-Canada campaigns, and is demanding consistent enforcement or resignations.
Alberta independence leader Keith Wilson is calling on Elections Alberta to enforce electoral rules evenly across all sides of the October 19 referendum campaign — or resign. Wilson's criticism follows weeks of disputes over the regulator's handling of complaints involving pro-independence third-party advertisers like Let Alberta Decide and the pro-Canada “Forever Canadian” campaign led by Thomas Lukaszuk.
Wilson argues Elections Alberta has treated similar conduct differently depending on which side of the referendum debate a group is on, undermining confidence in the vote's fairness. The complaint is the latest in a string of grievances from independence advocates about the regulator's conduct ahead of the referendum.
