## Resource

Albertans get a major upgrade starting July 2nd—new driver’s licenses and ID cards now bundle your health care info into one tough, fraud-resistant card. Alberta’s finally ditching paper health cards, adding a citizenship marker for easy verification, and boosting security against rampant fraud. Two phases roll out: first, a new registry requiring proof of legal presence, then full integration for non-drivers too. Kids under 14 get free IDs, and yes, the minister’s getting his after the Premier. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
