The Alberta premier reminds us after COVID the Liberal government in Ottawa let too many people into this country too fast.

“They didn’t ask anyone. They didn’t ask the public. They didn’t ask the provinces,” says Smith.

And what did we get? In Smith’s mind it is clear, pressure on health care and schools and housing prices and rental rates and food prices and the job market.

“Everything is impacted by the fact the federal government just lost all control over the number of people coming into the country — and it’s hurting people. It puts pressure on every single aspect of our system here.

“People are at the breaking point. Our public servants are at the breaking point.”
