I've lived in 3 states and none of them have required proof of citizenship to register to vote. You basically check a box that acknowledges that you are a US Citizen with the right to vote and that illegal registration carries penalties.

The Kia Telluride does not have a locking differential in the same sense as conventional 4x4 vehicles. In fact, the Kia Telluride comes with a multi-plate center clutch that allows for distribution of power between the front and rear wheels. When the clutch is fully engaged, in most cases there should be no slippage which means that power is distributed evenly (50/50) between the front and rear. However, there's always the possibility that the clutch can slip given enough of a torque differential between the front and the back. It can offer improved traction in poor road conditions.

A proper locking differential found in most traditional 4x4 vehicles/trucks, when engaged, physically locks the axles together which means they cannot spin at different rates. This is essential for many more rigorous off-road applications when you may have to rely on traction from a single wheel to get you unstuck.

This is exactly the type of misleading marketing that is described in many other comments. A clutch pack cannot physically lock axles together in the same way as a locking diff.

Email is preferred for me (no oauth) unless there is a particular need to access data on something like a Google account for the service to function

Agree. I see no reason why Google should be the only means to log in

I'm not debating the merits of renewables, I'm just stating that the population growth in Alberta is not linear. And the population IS growing by hundreds of thousands annually. To quote directly from Alberta population statistics:

"Alberta’s population growth continues to accelerate. In the 12 months preceding April 1, 2024, the province’s population expanded by 204,677 people, or 4.41%." [1]

"This represents a significant increase from the previous year (3.67% between 2022-23) and the highest April 1 year-over-year growth rate since 1981. Alberta’s population expanded by 49,138 residents over the first quarter of 2024, or 1.02%." [1]

The vast majority (over 160,000) of those new residents of Alberta were immigrants to Canada, driven by the federal government's massive immigration ramp-up. The immigration levels plan targets a continued increase in immigration through 2026 [2] and with Alberta having a comparatively low cost of living and very high quality of life, it's hard to believe that trend in population growth will not continue.

Alberta’s population growth trend in the last 5 years is anything but linear. It has accelerated significantly driven in large part by new to Canada immigrants and those escaping higher cost of living provinces like BC and ON.
