Half of all Canadians say there are too many immigrants: poll
https://nationalpost.com/news/ca…What is going on up there?
- Same thing that's happening everywhere else in the world. Influence from false narratives pushed by extreme right-wing populists. Canada isn't immune.Continuity
- That having been noted, I'd be interest to see the demographic breakdown of the people interviewed for polls like this. Exclusively WASP Canadians?Continuity
- New arrivals? 1st generation? I would imagine that immigrants from certain regions and/or religious affiliations would let their grievances with other ...Continuity
- ... groups do the talking. For example, Montréal Jews probably aren't keen on Muslims moving into the city, I expect. Et cetera.Continuity
- All of that to say: yes, I'm sure there's a increasing extreme right-wing agitation being relfected in these polls (I see you, Alberta and New Brunswick) ...Continuity
- ... but I would take it with a grain of salt, anyway.Continuity
- Yeesh. -1 for typos and shit grammar.Continuity
- Asking Canadians if they have concerns about something... Have you met one? they're just fucking virtue-signalling if they say no.kingsteven
- So you’re saying the poll is a lie? You seriously think they only surveyed white Protestants?********

this is from the same survey but they choose to omit that immigration is fairly low on the list of worries.kingsteven - Scaremongering at its finest.Salarrue
- Feels like you’re ignoring the fact that many immigrants, even 1st gen, do not want more immigrants. This is very common human nature********
- Settlement-sector clickbaitkingsteven
- I suppose it’s possible that this poll is a radically false narrative but you have no evidence other than your own opinion about what people think********
- it's not wrong. it's just research wrapped in an article that is trying to make it more seditious than it is. of course people have concerns about immigrationkingsteven
- There are people sleeping on the streets cause there is no where to live:

- Could be just racist wasps like continuity said but honestly, you want to see real racism go up to Woodbridge or Thorncliffe or Richmond hill, it’s everywhere..._niko
- And established immigrant communities are the worst. Quebec I’m sure skews it too since they want to protect their quebecness. So 50% isn’t bad considering..._niko
- lol "quebec and the rest of canada" they're trying to fight everybody!pango
- @nb I don't know that the poll is ultimately a lie. I suspect it's not being entirely truthful or trustworthy, however. Also: the National Post.Continuity
- Not the most balanced or trustworthy publication out there.Continuity
- @_niko We'll never know if it's WASPs or someone else. The methodologies behind these polls aren't exactly transparent.Continuity
- Also as a curiosity, if they interviewed Canadas' indigenous population and asked them if there are too many immigrants I think the result would be 100% yes lol_niko
- ^ lol you're not wrong!Continuity
- if you're at least 15% native you pay minimal taxes and receive gov't benefits. That's entitlement we can all get behind.hotroddy
- canadian gov did fuck them over pretty bad. but as a pinochet supporter, you probably don't care about that.pango
- pango, feel free to lead by example and remove yourself from the first nation's land.hotroddy
- because that's coming from you i'm not gonna do that :) i'll instead advocate for my gov to give them more assistance.pango
- how convenient for youhotroddy
- nahh more like petty. because it's your idea lolpango
- btw since you're here. you said "with Trudeau at the helm it could be reality." but he's already at the helm?? what do you mean by that?pango
