A new poll ahead of Alberta’s fall referendum finds that a majority of voters will likely vote in support of the five questions related to immigration.
This is truly scary
Remember: Remain in Canada + No to everything else
I know the questions are deliberately worded to be ambiguous and leading, but every single one is clearly a racist dogwhistle. For all of the redneck shitheads emboldened by our government of bigots and traitors, I don’t think the majority of Albertans are that bad.
There’s definitely a divide between Edmonton (at least the city center & university area & few other ridings) and the rest of Alberta, which is unfortunate. Edmonton has genuinely good urban policies but the you see pee is making it harder to live here every day…
Even the smaller cities have good people in them, but they mostly have these rural-urban mixed ridings to make them appear to ride or die conservative.
I think that alternate mapping that was recently proposed had a ton of them.
I will never understand this mentality. As an immigrant to Canada myself who is now a citizen, I’m just like the many people right now seeking permanent residency. I’m no more special or qualified than them. The only difference is that the ladder is no longer there.
I certainly would not like it if previous folks pulled up the ladder they used. And therefore I cannot pull up that ladder to others just like myself
I don’t believe it.

Guess we’ll see.
Alberta is difficult to underestimate.
The last Federal election was about sovereignty. 92% of Alberta ridings elected a pro MAGA party.

You mean REDmonton? They got one if them Liberal factories they call university.

Anti-immigrant rhetoric is a pretty mainstream position nationwide at this point.
Mostly targeted at one group as well. It’s sickening.
No way, our bigots hate Asians and brown/middle east people! Their bigotry is truly multicultural.
Our immigrants also seem to dislike immigrants… Nothing like pulling the ladder up after yourself.

Which is very unfortunate for this country
