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.
