Question for the 6% of Albertans who want us to become a US resource colony: why not just go there and make a refugee claim?
You'll be hosted in a lovely ICE detention facility while the Trump Administration determines whether you really are being oppressed in Canada by the "globalist deep state," or whatever.

"Vaccines work" isn't a political statement. "Immigrants do not increase crime" isn't a political statement. "Climate change is real" isn't a political statement. "Genocide is bad" isn't a political statement. Stop neutralizing the power of facts by framing them as "politics." Reality matters.

Useful context for Alberta’s anti-inmigrant referendum questions. We are not being “flooded” with newcomers. And scapegoating immigrants for longstanding structural problems with our public health care system, in particular, is gutter politics. #cdnpoli #abpoli #notothenine.

NO evidence to support UCP & separatists (hateful) lies about immigrants. "The evidence on this point is consistent. Migrants in high-income countries are, on average, healthier than host populations and contribute more economically than they consume in services." healthydebate.ca/2026/04/topi...

#Alberta, are you ready for your wages to decrease by $12,000? How about a 16.2% GDP loss? That's what separation could cost. Along with $327 Billion more in debt, along with $168 Billion in transition costs. Great research by UofC. Credit to CBC for coverage. #abpoli #ableg
