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.

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.

A lesson in scapegoating: Alberta’s referendum questions try to appease far-right supporters by painting a target on migrant families.
