      What is with these left wing hack websites trying to portray massive immigration numbers as actually a good thing? Healthcare across Canada is horrible and over burdened and increasing the amount of people, especially older ones from third world countries is going to strain that even harder, same goes for foodbank usage that has skyrocketed and many other public services,

      It’s one thing if we were only bringing people in like doctors and engineers who can help to fill gaps while also retaining Canadians in those positions but we have a massive brain drain issue with young Canadians heading south to make what they’re worth while also bringing in low skill labour that just burdens the system

      When in a corner with nowhere else to go – blame immigrants for all your problems!

      With the provincial deficit rising to $9.4 billion this is from the article:

      „The referendum [questions](https://www.alberta.ca/release.cfm?xID=95697DAC29DCD-D924-7326-A99252F95BA236E3) intend to poll Albertans on whether non-permanent residents — which [include](https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/t1/tbl1/en/tv.action?pid=1710012101) international students, asylum claimants and work-permit holders — should pay a premium to access public health care and education.“

      „Since 2022, Alberta’s population has [gone up](https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/t1/tbl1/en/tv.action?pid=1710000501&pickMembers%5B0%5D=1.10&pickMembers%5B1%5D=2.1&cubeTimeFrame.startYear=2021&cubeTimeFrame.endYear=2025&referencePeriods=20210101,20250101) by 11 per cent. That population growth has driven a 34 per cent increase in revenue from both personal and corporate income taxes.“ <- So a good amount of this 11% are going to be immigrants who contributed to a 34% rise in corporate and personal income taxes.

      „Health-care and education expenses, on the other hand, rose by only 12 and 16 per cent, respectively, across the same time period, according to [provincial](https://open.alberta.ca/dataset/3393a7b5-07bf-4b9f-8aaf-a6d89273297b/resource/58a8d024-398f-482e-b1c2-81a754a97253/download/budget-2026-fiscal-plan-2026-29.pdf) fiscal [planning documents](https://open.alberta.ca/dataset/fe2a75b5-571b-4b44-8b04-66a6d81aaba4/resource/7f532f18-4416-4b40-b387-e7d03b43d6dd/download/budget-2023-fiscal-plan-2023-26.pdf).“ <- so costs rose less than the increase in personal and corporate income taxes and this is a problem?

      Not sure what this referendum is even about as it seems completely nonsensical. Seems to me like Smith is trying to blame immigrants for Alberta NOT making enough profit on them? This isn’t a referendum this is just referenDUMB.

      Whether immigration is considered a burden is a complex issue with no simple answer, as it varies significantly by region and perspective. Current data highlights a tension between immediate pressure on infrastructure and long term structural economic benefits.
      High skilled migrants and those with higher incomes are generally strong net contributors to public finances over their lifetimes, often paying more in taxes than they consume in services. However, in many areas rapid immigration is straining housing markets, healthcare and education systems that were not scaled for such growth, contributing to a higher cost of living and housing shortages.

      It’s a “feels” argument not grounded in reality based on the numbers in this article alone. When you have a 34% increase in revenue but somehow keep health funding flat that’s a government issue.

      What conservatives don’t understand is that wage suppression and rent pressure are fair trade-offs for lower social cohesion.
