I would be ok nullifying this rule if in order to enter as a resident you had to enter/show a valid form of Alberta ID along with your WIN # (Alberta Drivers, Alberta ID, etc... but something provincial) something that proves you are a resident of Alberta.

I know of quite a few people that have not resided here in a long time with valid WIN cards.
