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 don’t know of a single Timmie’s in my region which isn’t staffed entirely by Filipinos or other foreign nationals that live 20 to a flat that is also owned by their employer.
We deport these people, and prices of a lot of things are going to spike dramatically. Those business owners won’t be able to earn those many millions a year if they can only hire Canadian citizens.
** Unless you are a recognized native person, WE ARE ALL IMMIGRANTS ** Jfc, you people are dumb.
I am the descendant of immigrants.
Where would I be sent if deported?
I only have one citizenship.
Being a citizen does not make you any less of an immigrant. Being a descendant of immigrants also, surprisingly still makes you an immigrant. So perhaps we should stop talking about punishing immigrants as if it’s some new novel thing that’s causing all our ills. Immigration evidently worked for all of us, so let’s try not to sh*t all over the people that follow us. Immigration built Canada and, if you’ve noticed our birth rate over the past decade, without immigration, Canada will die. Frankly we need them more than they need us.
Oh, so several generations of my family were born here, we don’t have a single country of origin, (even if we knew it) doesn’t make me a natural born resident of my geographic area?
Fuck off with that dipshit idea.
Edit: please point out where being born in a country makes you an immigrant there.
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”
sadly, i have heard these comments from people in my area. they of course are talking about Indian students. “they take up bus space, they take our jobs, they open their own restaurants, they don’t follow Canadian values”. a lot of hate spewing from these people.
Canadian values seem to have evaporated in the last ten years. I feel like we’re almost unidentifiable when viewed next to Americans in a crowd now. There’s still a few big differences, but politically we’re in near lock step just a few years behind America. At least, that’s the vibe I get speaking with anyone older than 40. Social media has turned Canada into a Kuato-like attachment to America’s hip, except instead of calling the shots we’re just along for the ride as the host begins its descent into a death rattle.
Yes there are alot of things i find similar to how people act here vs the US. We need to bring back our separate identity but we also have to remember they are our neighbors down there. People don’t even talk to their neighbors here anymore. Having said that, these people have been very kind to me and down to earth, i have not seen anything negative about them.
Postmedia is stepping up its Fox Newsification of Canadian news
