A man votes Monday as an Alberta elections employee helps him to slide his paper into the ballot box in Calgary. A majority of Albertans have voted in favour of having more say in immigration and restricting access to health care, education and social services for non-permanent residents in the province. All four immigration-related questions on the ballot garnered more than 50 per cent of the “Yes” votes in Monday’s referendum dealing with potential Albertan independence and immigration and constitutional reform. But experts say the results, while politically charged, tell a more nuanced story about how the province views newcomers, and may change very little in practice.
