Show Notes
Alberta Premier Danielle Smith proposes a referendum on October 19th, featuring nine questions, including potential restrictions on immigrant access to provincial services. Smith blames high immigration for straining resources, despite declining numbers. The referendum aims to grant Alberta more control over immigrant eligibility for supports, similar to Quebecs model, and prioritize economic migrants and local job seekers. Critics argue the referendum is reactive, not forward-thinking, and question its motives amid falling immigration numbers.
