Premier Smith Calls for Public Vote on Key Issues

Alberta will hold a provincewide referendum on October 19 to address immigration and constitutional issues.
The referendum is linked to a $6.4 billion deficit due to lower oil prices and rising service costs.
Questions include immigration control, prioritizing economic migrants, program eligibility, and residency rules.
A news conference is scheduled for Thursday, with the New Democratic Party planning a response.
The referendum aims to strengthen provincial rights, while Bruce McAllister's comments sparked debate.
