You can easily research all the corruption around the GREEN BELT under the Doug Ford- conservative government. This as conservatives lie about how they can solve the housing crisis. With corruption.
She is 100 percent right, so what if a few people think otherwise the majority of Canadians think there are too many immigrants coming in. There are no jobs, no houses, no doctors, and not enough teachers so yes we need to slow things down let the infrastructure catch up.
@T.Transmutations immigrants will work for less than minimum wage and under the table while living 10+ to a house, so yes this is hard for the average Canadian to outcompete. Mass immigration helps large corporations and hurts lower income citizens through wage depression. It puts immense pressure on public infrastructure. This besides all of what diversity has wrought on White Canadian communities and culture.
@@oneplusonemakesone if immigrants are working for less than minimum wage then it proves the job is not worth what the company is forced to pay. I do agree people should have some form of minimum pay to live but your argument can be extended to unions. Why pay someone a massive premium when there is someone else willing to do it for less?
I don't like her but she is absolutely right on this point. Mass immigration in B.C priced me out of my own province to I came to Alberta because I could afford an apartment here. Now it's happening here and Canadians are being shunted out of the job market for people who will work for peanuts and live in deplorable conditions. She's just speaking the truth whether immigrants who want to bring every member of their family over here want to hear it or not. Canadians aren't about to vote for their own demise. Life long NDPr but voting Pierre because he's the only person who (maybe) will stop this insanity.
You think you deserve more than "peanuts." You are not shunted out of the job market if you just won't take the job. $15 is min wage in Alberta. If you want higher min wage don't vote for cons.

Unfair to the immigrant population?!?!? I thought the politicians obligation was to be fair to us, the citizens. She could vote for Trudeau if she’s eligible to vote, but I’m voting for Smith.

@@T.Transmutations i have been living in Canada for 17 years you buffoon. Im not a recent immigrant.

I do not feel that the Premiere is blaming the immigrants. She is blaming the immigration process that is controlled by the federal government. The federal government needs to be accountable for this mess
She's stating the truth lol one example is our small community a sudden influx of International East Indian student.... without going to a University or college because we don't have a college school here😅.
Immigrants should build their own communities like the settlers did. Instead, they just come here and compete for housing and employment while straining our infrastructure. Many of the new Canadians are not the skilled workers we need. I don't blame them for wanting a better life but the Gov policies are so inconsistent on every level that the immigrants better life comes at the expense of Canadians.
Citynews tries to criticize Daniel Smith for her criticism of lack of immigration policy in Canada. Remember the times when the news channels reported the news not made them up…
So you came here. Used Canadian resources to settle yourself and create a better life for yourself but when someone else wants to do the same they can go fu$ck themselves? You ignorant cu$nt.
One thing is people from other provinces and another new immigrants (e.g. refugees). Danielle made it clear, it is the new immigrants, not the already existing productive ones.
Danielle and the UCP markets the province to newcomers, but fails at having a real plan, then blames the people who moved to the province based on HER marketing campaign. Conservatives sure do love to lecture about "bootstraps" while rejecting their own.
Yes too many immigrants students visa pretending studying n then want to stay. House only realtors buy n let their families n friends help approved. Then then resells high ir rent main floo for 2 5K n Illegal basement 1.5K. This r what this rich ppl realtors doing. One week put sign 4sale. After a week sold n ready for rental.
Imagine being triggered by safe communities for all, independence, hard work leading to prosperity, tolerance of all not gring your cultural wars here, freedoms. Yeah those values are just too terrible, ( sarcasm)
But she advertised the Alberta’s calling commercial! It takes two! She is trying to scape goat a group. Not only that, but why didn’t the provincial government start building housing 7 years ago? Before this campaign? They’re not to bright down there!
Smith set up a program to have SKILLED tradesmen, that are in demand and had jobs lined up, move to Alberta In return for a 5 K tax credit. She didn't sign up for thousands of walk-ins that Quebec doesn't want to pay for any longer, nor did she ask for those that didn't quite understand that they would be required to work and contribute to Alberta's growing economy, to show up. This is a very poor example of journalism.
We already struggle to find places to live WHY are we helping THEM get places here to begin with? Or helping them buy houses only for them to start charging outrageous prices to rent to US? I’ve seen this firsthand. From the time they arrive in Canada they arrive at the hotel first. They are then put up in said hotels (I work at one but it’s at many across Canada)….) and given sin numbers, handed large amounts of money to pick all their furniture for the home,set up with a vehicle, set up with brand new cell phones AND even given assistance fast tracking establishing credit cards for them THEN given housing which they begin paying with government money until they are given one of our jobs. Seen at least 20 families get all this. They don’t even have full birth records for them or anything. Their name changes multiple times during their stay when I asked why (very frustrated and annoyed!) the coordinators said nobody fully knows their real name as they arrive with no information other then a family with approval for immigration. Nice. All true btw. Oh! And they also infest everything with roaches and mice thanks to mass donations from people then spread them to apartments until they can buy their own house with the cushy govt assistance if you live in an apt and have roaches when you never have before…. ask how many immigrants are there, they just see them as normal bugs and won’t care. 🖕
You work in a hotel. Do you really think a free week or month stay there would improve your life situation long-term? Probably not, heck you may even live in staff housing already. Sounds like you are jealous of people you consider losers. Maybe stop working at the hotel and get a better job? Oh right the immigrants take those jobs... they out compete you for open job opportunities? Why won't they hire you?
Too much of a good thing is never good……life is about limits. No limits equals chaos……what don’t you understand about those four words. You host a celebration at your house…..do you invite 10 or 20 or 100 or 1000 or?
Someone needed to say it. It is a problem here in Canada housing shortages and our economy is not growing. No jobs high food and gas problems they need to get rid of joe Biden and Kamala Harris and also Justin Trudeau and Christine freeland.
Every realtor can tell you this: Calgarians are competing with out of province buyers when it comes to buying homes, not immigrants…. The UCP created the Alberta is calling campaign, and guess what, it worked. People answered the call. A premier should take basic responsibility for their actions- it’s called decency….
You can't keep flooding a city, town or a province with immigrants and expect it's going to go well. We have a job issue, a housing issue and food issue but people don't care. We are frustrated with this flooding, so when is enough??? How many more do they want in our province? How much more of our tax money is being handed out to them? People in Alberta can't even find a doctor anymore, our services are failing.
Destruction Dani put up billboards advertising for workers to come to Alberta, and blasted Trudeaus immigration policy, all while announcing new construction funding for overloaded schools. Makes sense. Lets see if she hires more teachers. 🤷♂️
Its a multifaceted approach that starts with slowing or stopping the flow of immigrants until housing starts match the expected demand. The federal government acts like they couldnt predict these numbers when its partly in their control and partly their business to know. Throw a few million at a report if they really cant figure out that housing required = current population + young adult citizens expected to branch out from their childhood homes + immigrants permitted to live here. While i think its terrible how government of all levels is handling housing, it seems even more inhumane to knowingly bring immigrants into a housing crisis situation in a country with such tough winters.
Smith's is telling the truth... Example of this is our town with a sudden influx of East Indian they occupied all our High School part time job they are everywhere but they Funny thing is we don't have any College or University in here and they are an International Student without going to School? And can work?
Very many immigrants on welfare - this is not right! Welfare is Canadian worker's paycheques. Sharing our pay - we weren't asked. We can't pay our own bills.
So saying facts are deemed as controversial now? Thanks journalists. We can always count on you to be fair and balanced. Totally earned your government welfare handouts from our hard work.
Bro are we really going to pretend that massive amounts of demand doesn't affect supply? Get real. She's right. Why are we still pretending that anybody with any sense cares if someone else thinks they are a bigot anyway. This is simple supply and demand and has nothing to do with who the people coming in are, point is they need to slow down so that supply can actually keep up.
We already have a severe shortage of affordable housing. Where are they gonna go?
