Albertans continued to weigh in Saturday morning on the list of questions Premier Danielle Smith is set to put to vote in a looming referendum.<\/p>\n
Some callers told Smith on her call-in radio show that the October referendum, which is largely focusing on immigration, is just what Albertans want to see and said the premier is going in the right direction.<\/p>\n
In the same hour, dozens gathered in freezing temperatures outside Alberta\u2019s legislature in\u00a0Edmonton\u00a0to express their frustration with the track Smith is on and the separatist sentiment.<\/p>\n
Smith announced on Friday that Albertans will be responding to nine questions in the referendum.<\/p>\n
On Saturday she again defended her government\u2019s decision to make more than half of the questions about immigration, saying she wants to reign in the bubbling population of non-permanent residents as it has become financially unsustainable.<\/p>\n
The remaining questions focus on constitutional amendments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Albertans continued to weigh in Saturday morning on the list of questions Premier Danielle Smith is set to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":491006,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[194294],"tags":[49,48,23752],"class_list":{"0":"post-491005","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-edmonton","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-edmonton"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/491005","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=491005"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/491005\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/491006"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=491005"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=491005"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=491005"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
