Alberta immigrant support groups seeing recent uptick in anger, rise of racist narratives
Social Sharing Alberta resident Shamaila Akram says she can handle the increase in racial slurs and derogatory comments being thrown at her, but she worries about her newcomer and immigrant clients. As debates unfold over Canada's immigration system, those who provide help to newcomers in Alberta say there has been an uptick of hostility toward immigrants. "I hear from people in my own communities — women specifically who wear hijabs — many bad things and we realize there is a need to educate people," said Akram, with Calgary's Centre for Newcomers. "Clients are coming with severe anxiety and sometimes panic attacks after hearing racial slurs outside our door. We have instances where they're being harassed while walking in [the] downtown." WATCH | Alberta Next panel discusses immigration, sovereignty during provincial tour: 'Alberta Next' panel discusses immigration, sovereignty during provincial tour 9 days ago Alberta Premier Danielle Smith's 'Alberta Next' panel kicked off its provincial tour Tuesday to address concerns that have inspired separatist sentiment within the province. The panel hopes to hear from the public on ways to fix relations with the federal government. Once concluded, it will recommend ideas and policy proposals for a referendum. People have also screamed, "Go back to where you came from!" at Akram while she has been with her children multiple times this year, she said, and some have been aggressive. The Canadian Anti-Hate Network says charged debates about immigration in Canada and the United States are behind the rise in hostility toward immigrants online and in person. "We have been noticing a large increase in online hatred toward migrants, and especially toward South Asian communities lately," said Evan Balgord, the organization's executive director. "We are seeing classically racist narratives being spread that groups of people are dirty, criminal, incompatible with society and dangerous." In Calgary, Kelly Ernst, the Centre for Newcomers' chief program officer, says it has had to increase building security, reduce its online program marketing and bolster the number of workers on its crisis line for newcomers. Racialized workers at the centre are increasingly being harassed, and he said people often walk by screaming at the centre. Ernst said he and those working with immigrants noticed the increase in the last year as the immigration system returned to the spotlight. He said the ongoing Alberta Next panel led by Premier Danielle Smith that's touring the province to hear public grievances with the federal government is stoking that anger. "Since [the] Alberta Next panel raised its ugly head, it's also created additional hostility with some of the comments associated to that," he said. Ernst said he agrees that the population of newcomers in Canada and Alberta has exploded, but said governments need to stop using immigrants as scapegoats for housing and infrastructure issues. WATCH | The Alberta Next panel makes stop in Edmonton: The Alberta Next panel makes stop in Edmonton 9 days ago "It's not the people themselves that are creating that particular strain," Ernst said. "The problem is government policy." The Alberta Next panel has already made stops in Red Deer and Edmonton, and will return to Edmonton again, with visits to Fort McMurray and Lloydminster in August. Six surveys launched on the panel's website help inform what questions the government is putting to locals, and one of them is about immigration. "If Alberta isn't satisfied with the number or economic qualifications of newcomers moving to our province, we may have the option to withhold provincial social programs to any non-citizen or non-permanent resident who does not have an Alberta-approved immigration status," says a video participants are required to view before taking the immigration survey. The speaker in the video says although the federal government decides who is let into Canada, provinces pay for most social programs that they need. The video says immigration is to blame for high housing costs and unemployment rates, adding that "many of the divisions and disputes that plague other countries have begun making their way into ours." Smith's press secretary Sam Blackett said in a statement this week that the number of newcomers entering Canada needs to be sustainable. "Everyone wanting to come should be committed to upholding the Canadian values of hard work, love of freedom and peaceful co-existence," he said. "[Former prime minister] Justin Trudeau's Liberals upended Canada's immigration system for over a decade by instituting essentially an open borders policy that permitted millions annually to enter Canada, often without any sort of proper vetting, job prospects or needed employment skills. "The results have been disastrous. Housing prices have skyrocketed, and unemployment keeps increasing as immigration outpaces job growth." WATCH | Will Alberta Next panel result in a plan, or just another outlet for frustration? Will Alberta Next panel result in a plan, or just another outlet for frustration? 8 days ago Premier Danielle Smith's Alberta Next panel aims to hear about how the province can protect itself Ottawa while building a strong and sovereign Alberta within Canada. The CBC's Helen Pike talks to a conservative strategist and a political scientist about what the town hall format is for, and what value the province might see in hosting these discussions. He said the province and federal government have a shared responsibility to manage the population. Alberta Immigration Minister Joseph Schow, in a statement, added, "Alberta's government stands firmly against racism and continues working to build a province where everyone is respected — no matter their cultural background or where they come from. "Immigrants have been contributors to the economic and social fabric of Alberta, and they deserve to feel safe and respected in their communities." Laurie Hauer, the interim executive director of Edmonton's Newcomer Centre, said education is the key. "Immigration is vital for our economic growth, and it's really important to get that message out to people and understand those elements because what's coming out right now is just constantly, 'Immigrants are the problem,"' Hauer said. She said several of the centre's clients and workers have been accosted in the last year. Akram added, "We need to work on ways of making our communities more safer rather than scapegoating the vulnerable and racialized minority groups.

GOLDSTEIN: Canada's huge federal government bureaucracy needs to be downsized
During Justin Trudeau's Liberal government from 2015 to 2024, the federal bureaucracy grew in size by 43% Get the latest from Lorrie Goldstein straight to your inbox (L) Prime Minister Mark Carney and (R) former PM Justin Trudeau. Photo by File Photos / AFP via Getty Images While the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives warned last week that over 57,000 federal public service jobs could be cut between now and 2028 due to Prime Minister Mark Carney's restraint measures – assuming they occur – the reality is that a downsizing of the federal civil service is long overdue.

Create Account During Justin Trudeau's Liberal government from 2015 to 2024, the federal bureaucracy grew in size by 43%, from 257,034 employees to 367,772, an increase of 110,738. That far outstrips the 15% increase in Canada's population between 2015 (35,606,734) and 2024 (41,012,563). The 43% growth rate of the federal public service also outpaced the 18.5% real growth rate of the economy, the 15.5% growth in total employment and the 25.5% growth of employment across the entire public sector, counting all orders of government. As Peter Nicholson, a former senior federal public servant and business executive who cited these figures in a policy paper last month for the Johnson-Shoyama Graduate School of Public Policy at the University of Saskatchewan observed: Your noon-hour look at what's happening in Toronto and beyond.

'There is no reason to expect the growth of the civil service to match, much less exceed, population growth … By 2024, the number of federal public servants per 1,000 population had reached the highest ratio (9.0) in at least 40 years during which governments of various ideological stripes have held power.' He noted this rapid growth occurred during an era when 'so much specialized and urgent work is being outsourced to consultants.' RECOMMENDED VIDEO On that issue, parliamentary budget officer Yves Giroux reported in 2023 that despite the rapid increase in the size of the federal public service, the Trudeau government was also spending $21.4 billion annually hiring outside help – 106% more than the $10.4 billion spent when Trudeau took power in 2015. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Giroux reported the total cost of paying a full-time equivalent position in the federal public service – including salaries, pensions and benefits – increased by 7.7 % from $126,634 in 2022-23 to $136,345 in 2023-24, 'exceeding the growth realized in any year since 2006-07.' Meanwhile, 'total personnel spending increased by 15.7% to $65.3 billion in 2023-24, from $56.5 billion in 2022-23.' Some of these increases can be attributed to new federal programs such as dental care and pharmacare and increased hiring during the 2020 pandemic. But that was five years ago and the size of the federal bureaucracy continued to increase every year after that up to 2024 – from 300,450 positions in 2020 to 319,601 in 2021; 335,957 in 2022; 357,247 in 2023 and 367,772 in 2024. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. As of March 31, 2025, the public service was reduced by 9,807 positions to 357,965, compared to the same period in 2024, marking the first annual decrease in a decade. Even with that 2.65% cut in the growth rate of the federal bureaucracy over one year, the overall 39% increase from 2015 to 2025 is well over twice the 16.6% growth rate of Canada's population during the same period. RECOMMENDED VIDEO In a paper earlier this month, the Canadian Federation of Independent Business reported that from 2013 to 2023 (two years of the Stephen Harper Conservative government, eight years of the Trudeau government) the size of the federal bureaucracy increased by 36%, compared to just 13% job growth in the private sector. 'The rapid growth of the federal workforce and the accompanying surge in payroll expenditures risk crowding out private-sector activity,' authors Alchad Alegbeh and Christina Santini warned. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. 'This trend can reduce overall productivity, slow long-term economic growth, and limit the government's ability to respond to future economic or fiscal shocks … 'The continued expansion of the federal public service – both in headcount and compensation – has become a growing source of concern for Canada's small and medium-sized enterprises which represent the core of the private economy … 'While the federal public service has grown steadily, this has not been matched by improvements in economic performance or the business environment. In theory, a larger public sector could support business owners through streamlined regulations and efficient services. In practice, however, Canadian businesses face a costly and complex regulatory landscape – amounting to $51 billion annually.' This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Read More During the election, Carney promised to freeze rather than reduce the size of the public service, while increasing government productivity. But governments of all stripes have promised increased productivity for years, without accomplishing it, meaning that new programs almost inevitably result in hiring more staff, instead of fewer workers doing the job more efficiently. Critics say Carney's recent instructions to most federal departments to cut program spending by 15% by the 2028-29 fiscal year will result in job losses and reduce the quality of government services. But the reality, according to the numbers, is that downsizing the federal public service has become an economic necessity. lgoldstein@ Columnists Toronto & GTA Sunshine Girls Toronto & GTA Columnists
