Here is my process for going through the mail in ballot. I knew how I was going to vote based on reading the questions and deliberating. Took me 8 minutes. If you want to get your mail in ballot, you have unitl Sept 25, 2026.
We got quorum. The wins, and the losses. Lets talk about the union.
The missing ballots were number 1 and 2. Frustrating, hoping to be able to get a solution by Monday. Sounds like this happened to others. Called them the day after and they answered. Sending a new pacakge. Sounds like this is happening to others.
As we enter into negotiations I want you to think about the things that go against the collective agreement. Could be a rule you bend, or the corporation ignores. A stipulation that alone doesn't really change anything but collectively could cause harm down the road. Eventually it is found out and either stopped immediately or it gets a discussion. Based on how widely successful it is or how detrimental it could be if other knew it existed. Sometimes it just sits there quietly not hurting anyone.
Sign up. Get your questions delivered to your home. I included the questions, how they are written and my take on them. This is a serious referendum that will take time and people to participate in. True voting results happen when people vote. In order to vote you should hear the questions. They are written at a high level and refer to websites that are built on a panel that traveled around Alberta. The stay in Canada question was mutated to included a separatist component that was not part of the question the UCP have carefully crafted through their actions something that doesn't mirror their words Or does it Vote with purpose and participate.
