Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says out-of-control immigration levels are overwhelming the province’s core social services and has announced a referendum will take place on Oct. 19, asking residents to weigh in on nine questions addressing both that and possible changes to Canada’s Constitution.

In a televised speech Thursday night, Smith said it 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.”

“This somehow suggests that the problem has been created by immigration, as if these problems didn’t exist before those immigration numbers ticked up, I think is inaccurate,” says Lori Williams, MRU Policy Studies Associate Professor.

Meanwhile, Bradley Lafortune of Public Interest Alberta says “At what point does this premier start looking in the mirror and making the hard decisions, that are within her control, to turn the corner on these difficult budget choices.”
