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.
