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.

You know where else I heard this complaint?

Reddit.

You know who else Conservatives say is a left-leaning platform?

Reddit.

I think it's conservatism.

Also, just for the record, it is possible to discuss immigration and not be racist. You should try doing that.

    Are you implying I'm being racist already, by saying I should try discussing it without being racist? Was my previous post, highlighting how dissenting comments towards immigration policies gets typecast as racist... somehow racist? Dafuq?

    Lemmy brands any conservative-sounding comment as racist on the subject. You can see that sort of trend even in this thread, where there are some people saying 'conservatives are racist' as a preface to trying to say they agree with lowered immigration levels. It's like they need to pre-emptively defend their opinions against being called a racist, just to discuss the non-lemmy default position, which is absolutely batshit insane, considering that the study your post linked to shows that it's the most common / average opinion amongst Canadians.

    Are you implying I’m being racist already, by saying I should try discussing it without being racist?

    No, because you haven't been banned for being racist - at least on this account. If you have an alt you were banned for racism on, however, then yes.
