The Edmonton-Strathcona MP is sending residents a letter that says, in part: “The questions posed in this referendum seek to divide Canadians based on where they were born. They seek to deny some of the most basic human rights, including access to healthcare and education, to people who came to Canada looking to build a better life for themselves and their families. Hate is not the answer to our problems.” Asking citizens questions in a referendum is not hate. It is civic engagement. Telling people their vote will deny others basic human rights is fearmongering. How does an elected official get away with misleading Albertans like this? And if taxpayer funds were used to send this letter, why are taxpayers paying for it?

the reality is your federal system overloaded your country, the problem now is housing and medical care. Unfortunately your problem is based on federal mass immigrations that was not based on the current system of 10 points. its like Cuba in the 70s send your UD

When ppl get better treatment from our government then ppl born here it is government causing the divide. Whe they allow too many ppl in that thre are not enough homes jobs doctors they are denying ppl born here human rights. When they allow criminals in and don't deport them they are putting ppl at risk

There's a growing silent majority who are sick of this bullshit and will impact the vote and the MSM wants to completely gaslight society because they're afraid. Watching them struggle is very satisfying. 😂

WHEN are people going to be forced to tell the truth and nothing more!! The bull shit in the referendum is getting way to thick for anyone to figure out the proper answers or even the proper questions!! This was supposed to be a question for Albertans, but we ended up with people from all over Canada interfering in this!! To the point that the question, and the referendum are going to be useless to everyone unless we end up with a 60%+ vote for option 2! The feds, the provincial Gov't, the third party advertisers, everyone should be forced to stay out of these. The only ones that should be allowed to advertise is the original people/parties involved but that would make sense which is not likely in Canada!!

immigration should be part of your economic policy. In a modern welfare state the government should limit the number of low skill low wage workers admitted or deny them social services as they do in some countries. We can not admit millions of people who will take more in services than they will ever return in taxes. It will eventually bankrupt the country. we need to stop acting like Canada is a charity founded to benefit the citizens of other nations and start instituting immigration policies that benefit Canadian citizens.

Who is voting these Marxists tools in Alberta? People wake up, or we will end up like BC or Ontario or any other maritimes province. We are already taking that path thanks to some very questionable individuals in every political spectrum of our province. Same questionable individuals have loaded up our city halls. Ladies and gentlemen, wake up.

If there's a silver lining: she's preaching to her own choir. Her letter isn't likely to change even a single vote - the recipients of that letter voted for her so…they're already drinking the koolaid.

This is literally some of the dumbest horseshit I've ever read (well, for today anyway). It deems things like citizenship and borders completely irrelevant. It's a child-like belief that resources are infinite. How the hell did Canada get this stupid.

Absolutely pathetic! Notice how no liberal/NDP politicians or the Liberal media publishes any of the positive sides of Alberta Independence..
🚨BREAKING: The Alberta Transition Council has released its fully costed financial assessment for an independent Alberta. After paying for every service Ottawa currently provides, it projects Alberta would still have $22.2B to $32.1B left over every year. That works out to $4,390 to $6,350 per Albertan, every year.

They get away with it because of our protected classes in Canada. By being a minority, however it’s defined, you are immune to scrutiny of every kind on the basis of being a minority. Therefore, by saying “minorities should have x” you have committed a hate crime.

Is Alberta really that vital to Canada where the moment they separate, it's completely over for the rest of the country? Cuz thats how they're making it seem. If this went thru, what's stopping anyone from moving away if these so-called rights are being threatened
