Will never happen. The Liberals will never be able to find where these 2.9 million people are. And if the do find any of them, they will not deport them. Creating stricter policies, is just "virtue signalling" to pretend they care. In reality they will not be enforcing these policies.
Criticizes government enforcement capacity and accuses Liberals of insincerity, with unsubstantiated claims about non-enforcement.

Pathetic Leftie weakling???Trump must be quaking in his boots. Best thing Trudeau can do is resign and let a proper man or woman run the country, both will have more Balls than him.

Non-Permanent Residents (NPRs)—which include work permit holders, international students, and asylum claimants—account for approximately 5.6% to 5.8% of Alberta's total population. Just 5.8% !!! Even you get all of them out, can you fix Alberta problem? The oil industry is already a sunset industry; if they can't manage the economy well, they'll just look for excuses. Referendum is just an excuse.
Provides statistical data to argue that NPRs are a minor population percentage and that blaming immigrants for Alberta's problems is scapegoating when structural economic issues exist.

What do we think about it? I've heard words that are not in any dictionary. Yet, they are understood in their intent. There are too many that are far too ignorant. Those, give them all a bad rep. I don't blame them for being here, except those that don't leave when required. However, the government knew it would be a problem with the numbers allowed; lack of resources to ensure they were sent packing when their time expired. It should be codified in law that if you do nkmot leave, your entire family, including extended family gets the boot.
Critique of government immigration policy for admitting excessive numbers without enforcement mechanisms, proposing punitive legal solutions.

Not just brown town in Brampton it’s all over. Worst thing man is they are training ppl in Punjab at the local stores. Train ppl in English or French it’s Canada. I find it ignorant to train ppl in a language that Canadians don’t use. I go into Tim Hortons in a small town and they barely know English. Ask for cream get sugar everytime man. the culture sometimes is rude and short with ppl. Too many apartments and rentals are putting student immigrants first instead of Canada students. The driving is unreal saw immigrants driving in the middle of the road!! Like wtf. It’s out of control.
Extended critique of immigration practices, language training policies, housing allocation, and driving behavior, with underlying cultural anxiety.
