Alberta has ZERO sales tax. Cry harder--especially when Danielle Smith asked to INCREASE immigrants in her throne speech last year. Now she blames immigrants. Disgusting!

I'm all for referenda, the trouble is when government picks the issue, they are usually doing so for political reasons, not legislative ones. Harper pulled the same thing when he took a first nations treaty agreement that had been twenty years in the making between THREE levels of government and threw it to a referendum of a population that had NO idea what it was about, so they just reacted along racist lines thinking 'first nations are taking over'. But in any case, a referenda is better than not, sure as hell wish we had Citizens Initiatives in my province to stop some of the horrible public policy decisions.
Analyzes referendum mechanisms critically, provides historical example of government misuse, and argues for better democratic processes like citizen initiatives.

Hey Danielle, do these people you are trying to kick out of our social programs pay taxes and contribute to these programs? Why should they have to pay twice? I have a better idea, how about you implement responsible fiscal policy instead of fear mongering against immigrants. It may be a good idea to regain the revenue you lost when you cut corporate taxes.
Critiques government policy on immigration and social programs while arguing for responsible fiscal policy instead of fear-mongering.

Alberta cannot legally or constitutionally separate from Canada without the consent of First Nations, whose treaty rights and land titles predate the province's existence.

Before u give Trudeau senior any credit , he was the one who started the change in Canada from a producer to a service country from bring in immigrants that produced in the 50’s and 60’s to bringing in low paying service jobs from the 70’s till now. This decline started 50 years ago

Criticizes a political leader's handling of Alberta's economy and accuses them of deflection, with an implicit us-vs-them framing about provincial governance.

CANADA NEEDS TO IMPOSE AN IMMIGRATION NATIONALITY CAP so we don’t end up with an inordinate amount of people coming from the same country like we do now! This method also assures REAL DIVERSITY.

Alberta was calling skilled labour. The Federal Liberals were calling refugees and foreing students- of learning centers. LOL Many of these Federal recuits ended up in Alberta, unfortunatley.

Wow, so the rest of the country is bailing out Alberta now with transfer payments because Smith and her cronies thought they'd have more oil revenues this year but the price of oil tumbled. So now the provincial coffers are running low and she's - of course - blaming everyone else but herself, while trying to shore up more American style privatization and provincial controls from the feds through her little referendum schtick. She's a separatist that smiles like a crooked car salesman while selling lemons to Albertans.
Detailed critique of provincial fiscal mismanagement, privatization agenda, and the premier's leadership, with strong moral disapproval.
