Vote NO on Questions 1 through 9 (The Noxious Nine). Vote to Stay in Canada #abpoli notoscapegoating.ca
Graphic titled “IMMIGRANTS ARE PART OF THE SOLUTION – THE FACTS.” Four facts explain the contributions of immigrants and newcomers in Canada and Alberta. The first says newcomers make up 23% of Canada’s construction workforce, including 20% of roofers and 16% of electricians. The second says immigrants make up 25% of registered nurses and 37% of physicians across Canada, while Alberta ranks last among the 10 provinces in per-student education funding. The third says 90% of immigrants file income taxes in their first year and contribute to provincial revenues from Day 1. The fourth says recent immigrants contribute more than $5 billion annually in Alberta taxes and concludes that they already pay for services. A row of brightly coloured pencils fills the bottom of the graphic, representing people contributing their skills and work to the country.

Jen Gerson with more truth bombs: “Voting to leave is not sending a message to Ottawa. It’s sending a message to Washington.” “The message is this: Canada is weak, regionally divided, and can be turned on itself for America’s benefit. Ultimately, that message hurts all of us, including Albertans.”

Once again, the UCP is changing the rules at the last minute for their separatist friends. We’re worried these changes could open the door to voter fraud by limiting the information available to those scrutinizing the vote. Danielle Smith won’t lift a finger to fight for Canada. We will.
