Lol, so they're gonna get maybe a few dozen signatures at best? Not all Canadians who vacation in Arizona are from Alberta. I'm betting there are lots from other provinces as well. I hope the sane ones walk by their pathetic display and tell them to go f*** themselves.
Also, I'm guessing that setting up a signing table in a foreign country has to be downright illegal. Any experts care to weigh in on this one?

I took a quick look through the rules and don't see any mention of it needing to be in Canada or Alberta. I don't think this angle was considered.

Whatever the case, these traitorous losers must be desperate if they're setting up tables in snowbird states. What a bunch of f'n clowns. The Forever Canada petition didn't have to do that and they still got over 400,000 signatures.
This should be interesting. "We are incapable of managing provincial finances, so we are gonna try to scapegoat immigrants instead of taking responsibility for being truly awful at our job".

Disgusting.
Her culture war BS is going to destroy the province. I saw this news and thought it was interesting that more companies are standing up HQs in Calgary. The clip is really optimistic and talks about how Calgary is on the rise and will just keep rising.
The problem is that they completely ignore the separation topic and how many of these companies will pull their HQs if there is a referendum. As we learned from Quebec, a lot of corporations will bail just because of the uncertainty created by having a referendum. They won't wait to see the result... but if the result goes the wrong way then even more companies will depart soon after.
Canada's population growth over this period (which includes both net births/deaths and net immigration/emigration) is about ~1.2% per year on an annualized basis. That seems...fine? It's been a while since I studied this in university, but I seem to recall that annualized growth between 0.5% and 1.5% is what is needed to maintain a healthy and growing economy, so Canada has been right on track during that period.
This is nothing but racist, xenophobic fear-mongering.

I'd love to make a bear patrol tax joke, but this is simply disgusting and embarassing and unacceptable. This is the #### that was happening in America 5-10 years ago, and we/they all thought/hoped that checks and balances would keep it from getting out of hand.
We can not afford to be so naive. #### this ####ing ####.

Straight out of the USA political playbook. Focus on the culture war to deflect from the class war. In the North American perspective the American South pioneered this prior to (and after losing) the civil war, and it proves successful to this day. Blame the BIPOC population for all your economic problems while allowing wealth concentration at the top of the class system.
The problem is that immigration has become such a polarizing issue that it seems like there can't be any reasonable discussions on it. It's ridiculous to blame everything on immigration when we've had terrible decisions and fiscal mismanagement in this province for what seems like forever.
But at the same time, immigration has been a huge issue for the healthcare and education system. For a decade we've been at the high end, bringing in 1.5% of our population each year, even through Covid. This isn't sustainable long run, and certainly not without targets to bring in high income individuals because at that level we're going to be needing to constantly build schools and hospitals.
Alberta with it's we're calling campaign is even worse at over 1.9% per year over the past 10 years. It's in no way responsible for all our problems, but it's contributing to significant strain on health and education.
