Globe and Mail- Ottawa’s inaction is fraying the consensus on immigration
Less than a year ago, polling by Nanos Research showed 61 per cent of Canadians thought that immigration levels should either be increased or stay the same, in keeping with a decades-old consensus that welcomes newcomers to this country.
Public opinion has inverted, according to Nanos. In December, 61 per cent of Canadians said immigration levels should be reduced, with just 34 per cent still believing that Canada should maintain or increase the number of newcomers.
Read the whole thing.
Read the Grope & Flail? Not a chance. I wouldn’t give the bastards the sweat off the backside of my sack, let alone a click. If someone wants to archive it & provide a link, you bet.
In addition, this “sea change” certainly hasn’t been from reading all the anti-illegal alien/immigration articles they’ve been reading on MSM like the Grope & Flail now either, has it? The only reason they even address this issue is because it can no longer be ignored.
I prefer Mop and Pail.
It’s actually a pretty good article and touches on the multiple policy failures of the liberals.
Too little, too lare. The paper needs to go the same way as their idols, the Liberals.
It’s actually a pretty good article and touches on the multiple policy failures of the liberals.
An article most of us here could have written years ago, save for the Israel/Pali issue & applauding a commie in the House. I bet they weren’t mentioned. I don’t need no teat-sucking, Johnnie-come-lately preaching to me about failed Lieberal policy.
The elephant in the room has finally raised his tusks.
The only reason for high levels of immigration is so rich people can hire poor brown people to drive down the price of labour. Let rich people compete for labour rather than us poor slobs compete for jobs. As I’ve said on occasion, “There’s no such thing as a labour shortage, only a pay shortage.”

………..and low housing inventories to keep diverse stock portfolios and rental investments high.
Obviously been a Canadian my whole life and what I have noticed is a huge amount of young men showing up out of nowhere.. Walking around in groups, they seem happy for now.. I dont imagine this will last..
You dont have to be white and in your 50s to be uncomfortable with several NEW GANGS in town..
Quick, quick, Joostaihn! Get a cheque over to the G&M and Nanos.
The Dear Leader was informed two years ago by the immigration public servants that high levels of immigration would negatively affect the housing sector. The Bank of Canada came to the same conclusion, but the Dear Leader ignored the warnings since importing new Liberal voters is his top priority (CBC link).
“Federal public servants warned the government two years ago that large increases to immigration could affect housing affordability and services, internal documents show.
Documents obtained by The Canadian Press through an access-to-information request show Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada analyzed the potential effects immigration would have on the economy, housing and services, as it prepared its immigration targets for 2023-2025.”

The Liberals in Canada , like the Democrats in the US have deliberately allowed excess immigration (Canada) and uncontrolled open borders (US) in the belief that they can fast track the illegal and recent immigrants with the right to vote and will be duly rewarded accordingly come the next election with a permanent Liberal / Democrat governments in North America.
Trudeau , Freeland , Singh and Angela Merkel are all WEF Global Leaders graduates and in the case of Germany and Canada both countries seem to have biased policies of bringing in Muslims , knowing full well most will never assimilate as is the case in France and Germany. All of this per the WEF goal of destroying nation states and making it easier to force top down dictatorship via the UN , WHO , World Bank etc.
In Germany push back is occurring.

Canadians are only now beginning to realise the extent of the damage with high levels of Muslim immigration , highlighted by the pro-Hamas demonstrations with grovelling cops providing Tim Horton’s coffee to law breakers.
…all according to plan.
Well, Brian. You rhetorically kicked the ball, and there it was, in the back of the net.
Thanks for saying it Brian… the charge toward “Post Nation State ” status is led by our WEF federal Government and bureaucrats.
The first rule for WEF Globalist authoritarians occupying every level of our Governance in Canada is to never mention that they are WEF Globalist authoritarians.
They attain power through deception and lies.
PP actually mentioned it the other day.
Immigration should be stopped for ten years and then reevaluated.
Too much common sense there, VOWG. You’d better be careful or you’ll be accused of ……! Damn what is the ‘phobic de jour, today?
nope. by that time enough of todays immigrants will have political clout including votes. the ‘submarine’ called Canaduh is desperately trying to surface but with all that extra weight of a million immigrants dashed the latest chance.
it is all and only the TURDeau doing this remember that you biased liberal supporter academic authors.
30 years at least
“The Liberals have, since late summer, started to take significant action on the housing file. Their moves are sound but it will take several years for those efforts to have a significant effect in easing the supply crunch.”
No they wont, the steps they took are: Punish AirBNB owners, throw money at the problem, raise taxes, create standards that increase costs, and does nothing that fixes the problems they created.
It’s not “housing, housing, housing “ that these idiots spew 24/7.
It’s unrestricted immigration!
Talking heads just keep spewing out that we need all these immigrants because…
I say BS
We need all these migrants, illegl, refugees or otherwise, because the more we get, the larger the labour shortage. Funny how that works.
“Consensus on immigration”
If a lie is bold enough, no one questions it.
I do not believe that there ever was a “consensus” nor 61% in support of mass immigration a year ago. Total gaslighting bullshit from the media.
The Mop & Pail’s headline is clearly wrong. The massive increase in immigration is not due to the government’s inaction, it is deliberate.
Aaaannd to get right to the root of the problem we have the answer right from the head jackass!

Who would have thought the party that boasts that it is all for diversity, equality, and inclusion, the party that will defend democracy to the last drop of your blood, the party that espouses to be for the working stiff and the black minority is hell bent on importing more ‘slave’ labour to keep the vegetables on the table. Who would have thought?
Wasn’t that part of the whole idea with the injections, to reduce the population and attain the net zero end.
More legal immigration. Stop infiltration. Deport illegals/infiltrators.
But first things first. End welfare, and watch who squeals.
the consensus is still there , just the reverse of which way blackie want it
A few reasons for the reversal of consensus:
1. People were afraid to answer honestly in the 1st poll, and gave the “Correct answers,” rather than risk expressing any uneasiness, thereby appearing Racist and Xenophobic.
2. People were all in favour of a vague concept of immigration until many of these actual immigrants started doing what they do in their cities.
3. People actually believed the media/liberal Narrative until they simply had too many facts staring them in the face.
I should note – unlike UnMe, I do not view all immigrants as a generic group. There are some immigrants who come here with skills and a work ethic, and contribute. There are others who have no legally marketable skills, no work ethic, and 3rd world values, who simply are a drag on all our systems – legal, health, education, housing, and social.
The first group is put through a barrage of documents, process, and waiting. And waiting.
The second group just walks in to a free hotel with 3 square meals a day, courtesy of you and me. Instant welfare.
Guess which group the Liberals have been importing more of?
