65 per cent of Canadians say Canada is accepting too many legal immigrants. That figure, less than a year ago in February, was just 50 per cent. In March 2019, only 35 per cent of Canadians held that view.
Background:
Based on this poll https://acs-metropolis.ca/studies/negative-sentiment-towards-immigrants-in-canada-is-on-the-rise/
Has an n of 1612. 50% admit not having a good understanding of immigration policy.
I haven’t lived in Canada since around 2006. I try to keep up with the news because my family lives there and the talk about this all the time. I don’t use Google News, I don’t go on Reddit, and this article managed to make it’s way through the digestive track of the Internet to land in my feed, maybe on Mastodon.
So, I read it, and I was a little irked by the numbers. I shared it here and now I have the feedback I want.
It is heartwarming to be judged so immediately based solely on the source of something I shared. Lemmy is truly becoming Reddit.

Do you routinely get this defensive and play victim when asked simple questions?

The feedback you wanted was “Fuck Nat. po.”, “Postmedia is stepping up its Fox Newsification of Canadian news”, “Comments on /r/Canada are so fucking weird. Someone literally said “I was an immigrant turned citizen and I support this”. It’s like: now that you have your citizenship you aren’t considered an immigrant anymore? Wow. Edit changes “I am” for “I was””, “https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/daily-quotidien/221026/dq221026a-eng.htm ??? 23% of all Canadians are first-generation immigrants. Permanent Residents are legal immigrants. 48% probably includes some of these immigrants that want to deport themselves. What are y’all smoking?”?

While I appreciate a response, it doesn’t answer the question I posed. I also don’t care that much if you want to keep being weird about it. I was just curious as to why you support the publication after agreeing with the statement “Fuck Nat. po.”.
I have nothing to defend or of which to be the victim?
I’m not a fan of the NP or the Globe, but I still read the news. Sometimes I’m disappointed with the CBC. I like seeing other ideas, though. I like seeing how the news can spin and slant things. It is part of my work.
I didn’t mean to come off as a c-nt and make you waste you time with this long response.
