Alberta Referendum Fact Check - Part 2: Before you vote in the referendum today, it’s worth looking past the numbers in the immigration debate.

Our newest video challenges the claim that non-permanent residents are driving up Alberta’s healthcare costs.

Before you vote in the #albertareferendum, it’s worth looking past the numbers in the immigration debate.

Omar Mouallem’s newest video challenges the claim that non-permanent residents are driving up Alberta’s healthcare costs.

We have to vote NO to the 9 and option 1.

@daschenbrener Couch cushions, bottle drives, mining bit coin. Little of everything really.

Danielle Smith and Rob Anderson's heads exploding shortly after Mark Carney endorsed "NO to the NINE."

It’s just that simple: get out and vote! 🇨🇦

Separatist leader is “Ok” with Alberta losing 55% of doctors in the event of the province leaving Canada.

Our new country is gonna be lit.🔥

I call BS on this.

First, separation is not on the ballot.

Second, I'm OK with this. Doctors who want to impose their ideological beliefs on their patients would struggle to find patients in a truly free Alberta.

Third, other doctors who value a free society would flock to Alberta.

[CUPE Alberta @CupeAB]

Albertans were asked to guess how much of our healthcare budget goes to non-permanent residents.

The guesses? 15%-50%.

The reality? Just 1%

The budget strain isn't coming from immigrants. It's coming from UCP government choices.

Vote NO on October 19

Blaming immigrants is a mistake we can't afford to make.

In our latest video with Linda Hoang, Sara discusses the upcoming referendum and why creating a two-tier system for basic human rights is dystopian. We need to band together.

Vote NO to the Nine.

Blaming immigrants is a distraction from the real-world problems facing our public services.

In our latest video with Linda Hoang, Avery talks about how the government created their own problem and is using newcomers as a scapegoat.

Vote NO to the 9!

Sadly, we are long past the point in Alberta where it's newsworthy that Danielle Smith has lied to us.

An interesting update in the separatist discussion. Mitch Sylvestre told Separation Anxiety back in March that he met with the premier before his September trip.

Happy Thanksgiving! We hope you’ve had time to connect with friends and family this weekend. We also hope you were able to have some important discussions about the referendum.

Vote NO on Questions 1 to 9.

@BannedAgain3x Are you a Chinese bot? Is that why you are still here?

[CUPE Alberta @CupeAB]

Why won’t Danielle Smith let the public know what she said to separatists behind closed doors?

Is it possible she is (again) saying different things to different groups? What is she promising them now?

[Don Braid @DonBraid]

Premier Smith absolutely needs to publicly release a full readout of the remarks she made in private to separatists. #ableg #canpoly #yyc #yeg #abreferendum

@BannedAgain3x Do you miss your Russian friends?

[CUPE Alberta @CupeAB]

@ArcFlashMe @DJHartattack Billions eh?

[CUPE Alberta @CupeAB]

@DJHartattack @ArcFlashMe It’s called a different opinion than yours.

We assess it all the time and have frequent votes at conventions and other meetings. It shouldn’t surprise you that people who provide public services for a living don’t want the UCP to stay in power.

[CUPE Alberta @CupeAB]

@DJHartattack @ArcFlashMe We are 💯 supporting the NDP. We want Danielle Smith gone, and Nenshi elected. We will do everything we legally and democratically can to support that outcome. We have never denied it.

[CUPE Alberta @CupeAB]

@ArcFlashMe We're not.

[CUPE Alberta @CupeAB]

@ArcFlashMe No.
