The outcome of the Referendum Nine Questions is demoralizing for many Albertans. While the constitutional questions ended up being narrowly defeated, the immigration questions gained a majority especially in rural Alberta. These were a ploy by the UCP and Danielle Smith to scapegoat immigrants and provide an alibi for their dismal record in healthcare and education. Alberta now has the lamentable reputation as providing the least funding for education in all of Canada. And the chaotic restructuring of Alberta Health Services as well as the privatization of our public system has been delaying cancer surgery and increasing ER wait times. In short, the UCP is killing people. But providing propagandistic White Supremacist immigration-scapegoating questions with misinformation and lies provides the UCP with an opportunity to divert and deflect criticism.
