A majority of Canadians want the country to accept fewer immigrants and temporary residents next year, according to a new Nanos Research survey commissioned by CTV News, as the country continues to grapple with immigration levels and their impact on housing, services and the economy.

The survey found that 52.3 per cent of respondents believe Canada should accept fewer immigrants and temporary residents in 2027, compared with 33.5 per cent who want the numbers to remain about the same.

lol tell me you didn't click the link without telling me you didn't click the link.

52% of Canadians want less, and that number is static. But the number of people who were unsure but now want more or the same have increased.

All this highlights is that most people from lemmy are part of the 44% of Canadians who want the same or more immigration.

I don't know where you're getting this conservative angle. Well I do but I'm not gonna bother.

    Yes, the majority "at large" wants less. Lemmy vehemently supports more, and declares people who support the majority position as racists, and will often ban/censor such commentary. The "average"/"majority" opinion is type cast as 'racist' on lemmy.

    That's.... the point I was making. Not sure where the disconnect is, or why you think I didn't read the material.
