Remember this day Alberta - almost every riding in Edmonton and Calgary have rejected Rob and Danielle's xenophobic questions. Despite Rob's bravado, they both already regret asking them.
Remember this day Alberta - Avi Lewis and Naheed Nenshi are both calling Albertans racist suckers for voting for the immigration reforms in the referendum. They will regret that decision next fall.

As a large majority of Albertans celebrate the province's opposition to separation, i reflect on the results on the immigration questions. Link below.

Proving once again that disinformation about immigration has damaged our society.
Early returns on Danielle Smith's other 9 questions? Immigration questions all leaning to pass, all of her constitutional questions leaning to fail.

Looks like a racist Alberta within a united Canada wins the day.

Still time to sign up for this webinar tomorrow!!
Workers were told the Cargill plant was safe and their living conditions — not their workplace — were to blame for the spread of the virus. Meanwhile, emails between health officials were telling a different story. Come to our webinar: ualberta-ca.zoom.us/webinar/…

Every single jurisdiction in Canada raised its minimum wage in 2026. Or rather, almost all of them. Alberta hasn’t bothered in eight years — and now has the country’s lowest rate. Read the blog: parklandinstitute.ca/2026_mi…

Sifting through thousands of pages of freedom-of-information records — some of them heavily redacted — researchers found systemic failures in Alberta’s response to the Cargill outbreak. Join them at our webinar: ualberta-ca.zoom.us/webinar/…

You know that Albertans overall do not pay enough in taxes to cover their health and education costs, right? The problem is low taxes, not who's paying them. Which makes your singling out non permanent residents at best disingenuous, and at worst racist and xenophobic.
You’re a real hero with other people’s money Stephen. So you actually believe we should pay for a non-citizen, non permanent resident guest worker’s health and education costs? And their family’s health and education costs? You do know that virtually no other country on earth does this right?

New Parkland report shows the referendum’s immigration questions for what they really are: “The government is seeking some kind of public support mandate for what I believe to be a xenophobic agenda.” edmontonjournal.com/news/loc…

A lesson in scapegoating: Alberta’s referendum questions try to appease far-right supporters by painting a target on migrant families. Join us next Wednesday to unpack why immigration is on the ballot—and why that matters. ualberta-ca.zoom.us/webinar/…
