I mean, they [the UCP] raised immigration up to “non-sustainable” levels in the first place, so why shouldn’t they be able to lower their immigration back again? Other than rank incompetence, of course.
[Edit: put in the quotation marks that I really should have included in the first place, and clarified “they”.]
Ottawa has absolutely strangled immigration already.
All of the questions rested on faulty premises to begin with.
The UCP has simply abandoned even attempting to govern. Their whole thing is just blame Ottawa. They’re just testing the waters about how cool people would be with also blaming immigrants.
When you are incapable of governing: just blame. Oldest trick in the book. If you think back to all your worst bosses you’ve had in your life, I’m sure you’ll recognize the pattern.
Hmm. The question then is what Ottawa can actually do about the UCP’s rank incompetence.
I’m just glad I’m not in the UCP’s splash zone. On the other hand, I’d almost rather swap them for the government currently mismanaging my own country; on the gripping hand, if I’m really lucky my government will actually be voted out next month…
It’s not like they were neutrally phrased.
“Do you want Alberta to be able to lower immigration back down to sustainable levels”
Like, come on.

What was non-sustainable about the levels?
Every 1% long-run increase in population raises income per capita by about 0.3% to 0.5% source
I should have put “non-sustainable” in quotation marks, yes. I’ve fixed that now.
