Attacking civil society is a Trumpian move. It’s completely inappropriate in a democratic society.

*These cuts also signal what’s coming. Refugee health is just the first program on the chopping block. When we allow the most vulnerable to be cut first, no one is safe.

#StopBlamingImmigrants

Audrey Macklin is an immigration scholar at the University of Toronto faculty of law, where she is also the Rebecca Cook chair in human rights law. Populist politicians in Canada have used immigration, and established immigrants willing to criticize new immigrants, as a tool of deflection for more than 100 years, she said. “Anti-immigration is always a cheap and available tactic for populist governments,” said Macklin, who was born and raised in Edmonton and took her first degree at the University of Alberta. “It is an easy way to blame some other people for the challenges that are faced at any given moment,” she added, but particularly when a government is facing financial challenges due to such variables as the structural changes in the global economy.

Danielle Smith's referendum announcement on immigration represents the pre-determined end goal of the Alberta Next Panel.

“It takes years and years to build up good public science, but it only takes a moment to cut it.”

Alberta’s ‘two‑tier health‑care law’ should concern employers: report Move could have implications for future benefit design, regional disparities in access to care and long‑term workforce health costs

Public health care benefits employers by removing a significant cost to them—but Alberta’s two-tier legislation risks changing that
