Danielle Smith is putting immigration to a referendum and giving Albertans a direct say. That’s democracy. Big decisions that impact our province should include the people not just political insiders. Albertans deserve a voice. #Alberta #AbPoli #Immigration #Referendum #Democracy

🇨🇦🍁 LOL! Alberta will hold a referendum to exit from Canada: "Should Alberta remain a province of Canada, or should the government of Alberta commence the legal process required under the Canadian Constitution to hold a binding provincial referendum on whether or not Alberta should separate from Canada?" — Premier of Alberta, Danielle Smith on the referendum in October, 19 "It's time to have a vote, understand the will of Albertans on this subject, and move on." — adds *Alberta is an oil-rich province, so they want to sell oil to the US directly, without Canada. What will be the Ottawa's response?

Alberta has a long history of welcoming a responsible and sustainable number of newcomers to our province who come here, get a job, build a life, and contribute to our province. Unfortunately, over the last 10 years the federal system has let temporary programs grow far beyond what they were designed for, and it’s putting pressure on the housing, schools and health care every family relies on. Temporary residents contribute about $150 million to our tax base annually, yet the cost to provide services for them is over $1 billion. It’s simply not fair to Alberta taxpayers. That’s why referendum proposes ways Alberta can: ✔️moderate population growth ✔️prioritize jobs for Albertans ✔️strengthen social services On October 19, Albertans have a chance to have their say on how immigration works in our province.

Although sustainable immigration has always been an important part of Alberta’s history as a province, the immigration policies of the federal government over the last five years have put tremendous pressure on classrooms, emergency rooms and social support systems. These referendum questions will seek direction from Albertans on how the province should adjust provincial policies to ensure our social services remain accessible and sustainable for Albertans.

I stand with Premier Danielle Smith in defending Alberta’s interests, and in the October referendum I will be voting for Alberta to remain a proud province of Canada. Alberta deserves a strong voice, fair treatment, and leaders willing to fight for the province. It is possible to support Alberta and advocate for respect from Ottawa, while still believing in a united country. #Alberta #Canada #UnitedCanada #ProudlyAlbertan #ProudlyCanadian #AbPoli #CdnPoli

🚨BREAKING: Danielle Smith announces an Oct 19, 2026 provincial referendum on immigration and constitutional reform. If Stay Free Alberta secures enough signatures, that same date could also see an independence question on the ballot. Should it be asked alongside the others or in its own vote? Thoughts?

Holy crap… this is a big one. Danielle Smith just announced an October 19 referendum where Albertans will directly vote on immigration through six questions. Agree or disagree, this shifts the conversation because voters are being asked directly instead of being spoken for. This is going to spark some serious discussion across the province. Watch the announcement and decide where you stand. 👇

What happens on October 20th? That may be the most important question before voting in the referendum. Because this isn't simply about the questions. It's about what the government intends to do with the answers. The UCP has moved away from unpopular battles over the CPP and RCMP and shifted the fight to immigration, justice, elections and federal-provincial powers. A favourable result gives them what they want: A new mandate to confront Ottawa and claim Albertans endorsed the fight. That's why this debate doesn't end on October 19. We could find ourselves voting again on separation while affordability, health care, education and our economy go unfixed. We deserve a government focused on results - not distractions. Less time picking fights. More time improving our lives. #abtory #abpoli #ableg #Alberta #Referendum #GoodGovernment #UCP
