Alberta watchdog receives complaint over immigration comments at town hall

Mitch Sylvestre, CEO of the Alberta Prosperity Project (APP), made controversial remarks during a Jan. 7 town hall in Didsbury, including claims about immigration and the alleged replacement of white Albertans. A complaint to StopHateAB highlighted these comments, which included assertions that Christianity may soon be criminalized and that white Albertans shouldn’t apologize for their demographics. Sylvestre’s statements have drawn scrutiny, with some claims being debunked as false memes. The APP is seeking to gather signatures for a referendum on Alberta independence amid ongoing legal challenges from Indigenous groups regarding the petition’s validity.
