Alberta’s Danielle Smith answers questions on planned referendum | LIVE

From Global News.

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith will face questions in Calgary on Friday morning about her government’s plans to hold a provincial referendum this fall that will ask Albertans’ opinions on various immigration and constitutional issues.

Smith said the Oct. 19 provincial referendum will be primarily focused on finding out how Albertans want the government to “deal with the issue of immigration, as well as steps we can take as a province to strengthen our constitutional and fiscal position within a united Canada.”

Critics have assailed the province’s plan as “weaponizing” the issue of immigration to win votes.
