Count the Ballots

Juno: Alberta votes Monday with ten colour-coded ballots! Mochi: chill; one is about leaving Canada. Queen Honeycomb: it only starts the legal process; yes means another referendum later. Tock: five on immigration, four on governance. The Rust Baron: ten? They'll make me answer everything! Mochi: nope, hand back any ballot you don't want. Juno: quest lesson, count the ballots first.

Monday's Alberta vote is ten ballots, not one: besides the separation question, which asks only whether to start the legal process toward a binding referendum, with a second referendum needed before any independence, voters get five yes-or-no questions on immigration and four on how Alberta is run, including choosing its own judges, abolishing the Senate, opting out of federal programmes and putting provincial law first, and they may hand back any ballot they do not want to answer.
