nono, leave it to a provincial government about to run a referendum re: SEPARATION FROM CANADA to require proof of CANADIAN citizenship to add a MAPLE LEAF citizenship marker to the top right of their drivers licenses

@robyn It still blows my mind that Alberta, the *literally most wealthy province in Canada* issues PAPER HEALTHCARDS to it's populace.
.....
Have you no pride AHS?
@Javensbukan @robyn they're also changing the dino fossil on the old one to a pumpjack, so that's also very classy.

@leroy That part is true, those paper cards are ridiculous. You can treat them with the utmost respect in your wallet and they absolutely still do have a half-life
but... A citizenship marker!? I don't know a single person who wanted this or thinks this is a good idea. Smacks of dogwhistle to me.
... and then on top of that, this is a province looking to *run a referendum on separation from the country whose citizenship marker they're putting on the license*.

@Javensbukan @robyn Well at least you are allowed to laminate it or cover it with plastic. The marriage license card however … nope. Paper too

@Bowreality @Javensbukan @robyn Marriage license card???
Explain that to me like I’m an American. -

Explain that to me like I’m an American.@Asymmetricblue @Javensbukan @robyn It’s a little paper piece that shows your maiden name and who you are married too. It’s really stupid but right after you change your name (if you do) or status you have to prove that to several institutions. So I had to carry it around and still do. I never use it anymore but it’s in the wallet I guess.

@Bowreality @Asymmetricblue @robyn I know we have 'marrige licenses' here as well, but I believe it's a big giant peice of paper / plastic that's for legal documentation, but I don't believe we carry it around.

@Javensbukan @Asymmetricblue @robyn Yup we get the big one too but that even harder to haul around. My husband of course had zero use for it but since I changed my last name …

@Bowreality @Asymmetricblue @robyn Ah yeah! I remember requesting a long form birth certificate for my UK Visa and it came and I was like Jeebus, thing is like a full sheet of 8.5" x 11" out of polymer and hella fancy.

@Javensbukan @Asymmetricblue @robyn Oh I guess my citizenship papers are like that. I need to bring them sometimes too

@Bowreality @Asymmetricblue @robyn The original 'short form' one is card sized and made out of paper and very fragile.

@Javensbukan @Asymmetricblue @robyn Who makes “cards” of our of paper anyways. This has never made sense.

@Bowreality @Asymmetricblue @robyn Ha truth. Mine looks like it was clearly done on a form printer using a dot Matrix printer or other type of impact printer, circa 1980s, which tracks.
Where I worked we literally *just* got rid of our (newish) Epson Dot Matrix printers which were still used in specific applications where thermal printers couldn't be used because of label incompatibility with the products.

@Bowreality @Asymmetricblue @robyn They were my favourite printers at work, zero issues with them. They just *worked*.
LOUDLY but, they did the thing.
Meanwhile our other printers:
Mercury is in tomatogate, I'ma eat all your paper and barf toner everywhere k? K.
That will be $600.

@Javensbukan @Asymmetricblue @robyn I agree. Endless paper too!
Printers are really overdue for a revolutionary product. They are mostly total garbage. I have a very basic and older Brother laser printer that I hardly ever use. It’s probably the most pain free printer but still it’s not an issue free experience at all. It’s a very “mood teenager” type of equipment. Limited in use too

@Bowreality @Asymmetricblue @robyn My printer at home is a Value Village special I found for $10, it's USB only and the toner I bought remanufactured for cheap. It's pretty pain free.

️️️️️Is it just me, or does it look like someone in the UCP asked “AI” to redesign our licence card?
imho it’s pretty ugly… and yes: made infinitely worse by the racist, fascist, prejudice-enabling maple leaf in the corner.
