"Invasion." "Remigration." They're terms you'd more commonly associate with America's toxic debate around immigration policy than Canada's. But they're starting to pop up here. You can thank Danielle Smith and the UCP for that. #cdnpoli #abpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2026/10/06/o...

America’s anti-immigration politics are coming to Canada — and Alberta invited them in
The separation question has consumed most of the attention around the province's October 19th referendum. The immigration-related questions also on the ballot might be just as dangerous and divisive.

If she was interested in helping Albertans, Danielle Smith would lose the extreme-right criminal clique, shut her pie-hole, ditch the extreme right panels, & fix healthcare like she said she would how many years ago? But she’s not interested in helping Albertans. She‘a just profiting from them.

Certainly, vocal support for Alberta separatism had risen during Liberal regimes, at least as far back as '80s Trudeau. Mulroney getting in dampened the mood, so did Harper. But for him to claim it was zero — that's just factually off.

Most of the word count in this op-ed was consumed by Harper re-hashing grievances with the Trudeau government and its supposedly nefarious intentions for the oil and gas industry -- and, as Jason says, completely misrepresenting the level of support for separatism when he was in office.

It is mind blowing that the Minister of Finance has no idea how much this fall's 10 referendums will cost, and that his best guess is "the same amount as a general election." Just as scary as the government having no prepared analysis for what separation would cost before calling a vote on it.

A lot of folks are treating a referendum on Alberta separation as a given. Let's not forget that Premier Smith has options, and the decision to go to a referendum is a choice for which she will be accountable. A separation vote is not somehow inevitable or predetermined. It's a choice.
