City of Grande Prairie confiscates viral anti-immigration sign 

Despite the sign being privately owned, the anti-immigration sentiment was not in line with bylaws that dictate what such signs can be used for.

A representative from the City told The Counter Signal that the City removed the portable sign, and are working to get it back to the owner.

“Under the City’s Use of Public Lands Bylaw, portable signs are allowed in specific locations, provided that the portable sign is advertising a community event and provided that all other requirements, including payment of license fees, have been satisfied” said Philip Cooper, Grande Prairie’s Director of Corporate Communications.

“In this case, the portable sign was not advertising a community event and the license fee had not been paid,” Cooper added. 

Majority of Canadians want less immigration

Despite the City’s decision, a recent Leger poll shows that after years of uncontrolled immigration, 60% of Canadians share the sign owner’s sentiment — that the federal Liberals accept ‘too many’ newcomers.

The federal Liberals’ Immigration Minister are not backing down from their plan to pack in another 485,000 thousand new permanent residents in 2024, and 500,000 in 2025, even though the country’s housing crisis has been linked with high immigration.

Furthermore, an access to information request released earlier this month indicated that the federal Liberals intend to siphon immigrants and newcomers out of big cities into primarily rural areas in Northern Ontario and Western Canada. The memo further revealed the feds are aware that some provinces won’t like their plan.
