Alberta's minimum wage has been frozen at $15 for almost a decade, and is the lowest in Canada.

[Parkland Institute @ParklandInst]

Are decent wages good or bad for the economy? As Alberta’s minimum wage hits rock bottom, we look back at a better time when it briefly ranked highest in Canada and examine how that affected the province’s job market.

Important analysis of ballot question #8:
"It isn’t designed to give Alberta more leeway to improve our health-care system. All it seems to do is let the province get paid by our taxes ... to let private health insurance companies pick away at our wallets."

Sensing a theme, AB??

Important new report from @ParklandInst looking at the context and consequences of the five questions focused on immigration that Albertans will vote on in the October 19 referendum:

[Andrea Dekeseredy @AndieWinnipeg]

More from @CBCEdmonton ‘s piece on the University of Alberta slashing 100% of funding to their affiliated child care centres.

“It’s a real betrayal to have that support taken out from under you. It makes it hard to feel like you’re welcome at the University”

Shameful.

When anger over affordability issues and strained public services gets hard to ignore, what’s a UCP government to do? Blame the migrants, of course.

A lesson in scapegoating: Alberta’s referendum questions try to appease far-right supporters by painting a target on migrant families.
Join us next Wednesday to unpack why immigration is on the ballot—and why that matters.
