I Want A New Country

Premier Moe, you need to invoke immediate long-term residency requirements to prevent Carney’s shiny new voting base from accessing provincial services (health care, chief among them) or there won’t be a province left to service.

What does it actually do?

•Ends the “first-generation limit” on citizenship by descent, introduced back in 2009 under Harper.
•Automatically grants or restores Canadian citizenship to tens of thousands of “Lost Canadians” and their descendants born abroad before the law – even if they have zero recent ties to Canada.
•Going forward, allows Canadians born abroad to pass citizenship to their kids born overseas if the parent spent at least 1,095 days (3 years cumulative) in Canada at any point before the child’s birth.
•No time limit on accumulating those days, no language/test requirements in the final version – opposition amendments for tougher checks were voted down.

Update: SDA gets results

@ABDanielleSmith

Albertans are tired of the last 10 years of the federal government’s unsustainable immigration policies putting huge burdens on our education, healthcare, and housing sectors.

It’s time we start having a hard conversation about exercising more control over immigration policy and whether the province should limit eligibility for social services only to citizens, permanent residents, and individuals with an immigration permit granted by the Alberta government.

    1. You’re getting one — it’s called Chinada, and this further dilution of citizenship is just the next step on the path to a brand spanking new failed country.

      1. I’d prefer to grow from the talent pool we already have.
        I do agree with including the description of this as “dilution” of citizenship. Much like adding a $Trillion to gov’t expenditures was a dilution of the money supply, and kicking the crap out of our economy…

    2. I want a new country.

      October, 2026 is the start date. Sell it to your friends, relatives, neighbors, whomever. Attend an Alberta Prosperity Project meeting & drag everyone you know, especially young people, along with. It’s a revelation. If they still want to stay after that, they have no brain & there’s no hope.

  1. “It’s time we start having a hard conversation about exercising more control over immigration policy and whether the province should limit eligibility for social services only to citizens, permanent residents, and individuals with an immigration permit granted by the Alberta government.”

    Too much waffling in Danielle Smith’s statement, with “start having a hard conversation” and “whether…should limit elligibility”.

    How about just do it and deal with any pushback.

    1. ^^^^THAT^^^^ That said, if these new Canadians are accessing healthcare, they may well be the only ones who are, we could watch and learn.

  2. All that can very simply be undone, if the prairie provinces simply assent to becoming the 51st state.

    1. No. Full stop. We will be far richer & in control of our own destiny as a shiny new republic.

    2. Which is the natural thing to do. It PAINS me (and believe me, I do not like to use these over-the-top emotional/physiological expressions – making an exception here!) to see Alberta basically frozen by Ebi, Indigenous folks, and what-nots and killing our Provincial and National prosperity. Cut the cord. I’m ready to either join AB and SK (if I’m allowed…) or to emigrate to another country. I hope we can see AB oil running through Idaho and Washington.

  4. I’m starting to detest this globalist prïck Carnage almost as much as juthtin.

    Maybe it’s my general loathing of all things liberal and socialist.

  5. Once again, Canadians of Convenience, who will need to be evacuated from 3rd world hellholes during the next war, just so they can come here and claim welfare.
