Today on the Alberta Roundup with Rachel Parker, Rachel discusses how the province’s population continues to grow, mainly because of immigration, which is resulting in an increased demand for housing and an increase cost of living for Albertans. Is it time to hit the brakes on immigration? Why is the UCP government still encouraging foreigners to come to Alberta, even going as far as offering a pathway to permanent residency for those willing to become police officers?

Plus, Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre gets a warm welcome to Alberta during the Calgary Stampede while Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was a no-show.

And the water crisis in Calgary continues as Calgarians continue to be plagued by city council incompetence.
