International The majority of Canadians against accepting more refugees

[Son of Jamin]

A pre-election survey conducted for CBC News suggests Canadians are divided on immigration, with clear limits on the kind of migration they find acceptable.

The government groups immigrants into three categories: economic, which are skilled workers and businesspeople, along with their partners and dependants; family reunification; and refugees or those admitted under humanitarian or compassionate grounds.

More than three-quarters (76 per cent) of respondents to a survey by Public Square Research and Maru/Blue agreed that Canada should do more to encourage skilled labourers to immigrate to the country, while 57 per cent said Canada should not be accepting more refugees.

The results come as no surprise to immigration experts and advocates, who point to a negative shift in tone on migration around the world, especially when it comes to refugees. They say that trend is stoked by media coverage in Canada of asylum seekers crossing the country's border with the U.S.

Of the 3,112 people who answered the above:

• 64 per cent said illegal immigration is becoming a serious problem.
• 56 per cent said that accepting too many immigrants will change Canada.
• 24 per cent said too many immigrants are visible minorities.

There is an election coming up and will the politicians listen to the good people of Canada or continue to accept more refugees because politicians are far more compassionate and caring?

You mean people aren’t enjoying the Somalian scientists we’ve been importing? Or the Jamaican aerospace engineers?

I loved this article from last Summer.

It’s a time of reckoning for Canada’s commitment to diversity and inclusion as a new poll shows that many among us want to see the number of immigrants coming into our country reduced.

This statistic is both startling and revealing because this is the first time since Justin Trudeau became prime minister that such a large number of Canadians are saying there should be fewer immigrants to Canada.

What is even more of a concern is that Canadians seem to be shying away from providing hope and a safe haven for the world’s most vulnerable. While the need for humanitarian aid increases, a significant number of Canadians want to see Canada’s helping hand pull back.

This new poll shows a fraying of our commitment to diversity and inclusion. It is also a clarion call that we cannot take diversity and inclusion for granted.

We will. Even liberals I know are sick and tired of that buffon.

 

[Mcountry]

We will. Even liberals I know are sick and tired of that buffon.

We would be in the same damn boat if we voted in Hillary who's husband wanted to turn Detroit into little Syria.

Fucking lefties.

I'm shocked. Canadians not wanting some diversity? Who will be next, Swedes?
People are finally waking up.

 

[Damien Karras]

We will. Even liberals I know are sick and tired of that buffon.

I don’t even know who to vote for. I might end up going Green

Open borders, muthafuckers~

Xenophobia at its finest.

It amazes me that people in their individual lives can be so aware of the potential for being taken advantage of and abused by the "less fortunate", yet simultaneously be so absolutely clueless as to how it can be an infringement on a macro level (with regards to immigration, as is the topic).

Lucid individuals realize that the shit needs to be limited, strict, and disciplined (so as to avoid the parasitic and invasive), while attempting to be as morally oriented as reasonably possible.

Also, immigration isn't even necessarily a productive way in which to attack world hunger/poverty (if that's your reasoning for supporting mass migration).

Go blue so there is a better chance of the goofball losing, spread votes won't help.

Agreed. Immigration is just allowing places with unsustainably high birth rates to export their problems and continue on. Shit is unsustainable and needs to be stopped. India, Bangladesh, Pakistan and Africa need a one child policy implemented asap imho. Way too many new people being born there and it's making things much worse.

That’s a very good summary of the core issue.

No. Conservatives are status quo on economy and terrible on the environment.

Liberals are status quo on the economy and somewhat better on the environment.
Plus socially progressive which is more like me.
Green is ???? On the economy but will give the environment the level of importance it needs at this current moment in our history.

Well, we will, but the problem is going to be in the numbers. It appears to me very likely to be a Con minority. If that happens, and Greens win the seats they're projected to, a Green-Liberal alliance to form government is very likely, imo. Which, of course, is the worst possible situation for Canada...and I'm left of centre.

 

[fedoriswar37]

As a Canadian, i wouldnt say im totally against it. I just dont understand where these people are supposed to go. We already have major housing issues without bringing in tens of thousands of people.

I would if Andrew Scheer wasnt the candidate. I have no clue how anybody would ever want him as PM

I think there should be shuttle from the US/MEXICO border straight to Canada
