Canadians' views are hardening on regular immigrants, who have been blamed for increasing housing costs and employment challenges

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.

Imagine fucking mass migration policy this bad to where the most welcoming immigrant country turned on you…

Justin is a fucking idiot. You have build housing and infrastructure if you want to import this many people. This is common sense, they know this… so why are they doing it anyway?

Housing cost in Canada is meme but hey lets add 1 million people into country with 2 million beds short.

Justin is a fucking idiot. You have build housing and infrastructure if you want to import this many people.

Say it with me: The Federal Government is not responsible for housing and infrastructure.

Now that we’ve got that out of the way, it’s up to provincial and municipal leadership to stop allowing so many single, detached homes and start developing some higher density housing.

But first, you have to convince the NIMBYs that higher density homes won’t send their community into ruin… Good luck!

Our economy and growth are literally being strangled to death by NIMBYs and corrupt zoning

Its like health care, people complain to the PM, but its a provincial matter.

Add in roads/traffic, energy, prisons, social services, long-term care, police, snow removal, etc., etc., etc.

Literally, the things that affect people on a daily basis are NOT matters of the Federal Government.

So when the 'fuck Trudeau", flag-waving, F150 crowd is pissed off about their current situation, they should stop to think why they keep voting for a Conservative government.

Unless they have a grievance about our national parks, foreign policy, aboriginal land, or national defence, they should focus their anger on the leadership who are actually causing harm to this country and their communities.

well said.
