Grits come clean on buying votes

Give the Alberta Liberals credit for proposing to eliminate the middle man:
The Alberta Liberals want everyone who casts a ballot in a provincial election to get $50.
The proposal is Step 10 in the party’s 12-step program to improve the accountability and effectiveness of government.
The money would come in the form of a tax credit and the aim is to improve voter turnout.
This is not enlightened civics, merely another debasement of the franchise.
