Most Albertans support Premier Danielle Smith’s immigration policies, with a recent poll indicating 63% favoring restrictions on non-permanent residents’ access to health care and education. Smith plans to include this question in a referendum amid rising immigration pressures and a projected $9.4 billion deficit. Additional proposals, such as requiring fees for services and residency before accessing social support, also received significant backing. Concerns about health care dominate public opinion, while a large majority prefers Alberta to remain part of Canada.
