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.

If you think cheap disposable labour isn't a tool used by the corpo scum, then you haven't really learned anything. Stop talking about American politics you sound ignorant. I was quoting Marx. Economic nationalism is the only thing one should be nationalistic about.

    People in the imperial core shouldn't be nationalist about anything. That's just Western chauvinism

    Not when Canada is part of the imperial war machine that makes the world uninhabitable for everyone else.

    People migrate because your nation makes their homes unlivable, by helping the US prop up dictators and wage wars and overthrow democracies. Meanwhile, your nation makes their wages low and crime rates high by setting up transational corporate exploitation for stealing natural resources, with Canadian mining companies all over Latin America ruining life for everyone.

    That's why you shouldn't be nationalist. Your nation is part of the problem.

    Now I know you’re a Russian bot vying for corpo scum.

    My ancestors lived on Turtle Island before yours came over the ocean.

    You're pushing the corporate agenda of Palentir and Anduril and Elbit Systems and CoreCivic and GEO Group, and then act like you're anti-corporate. Whose corporate agenda am I even pushing? Which corporation, specifically, is pro-immigration?

    Borders are apartheid. They're a tool to control the movement of labor while maintaining the free flow of capital.

    Read even one book, stop getting all your news from social media, I'm begging you.

    There's no way you can get "cheap disposable labour isn't a tool of corporations" out of what I said. It's literally the opposite of what I said. I referred to the more relevant parts of Marx's work to the problems you think you identified. It's pretty weird to use Marx only to comment on immigration policy and ignore anything he said about socioeconomics.

    You're getting upset I pointed out that you misapplied American political rhetoric to Canada. If you don't like American politics, then stop using it. I'm the one telling you to leave American political rhetoric out.

    Well dumdum thats what you're fighting for. Who do you think hires those illegal immigrants and exploits them? I never said "ignore Marx works" those are you're literal words, not mine. I'm just pointing out that letting unregulated migration happens has negative socioeconomic ramifications. Pretending otherwise is bootlicking. There you go again talking about American politics. You are brain rotted.

    You had to be prodded into blaming anything other than immigration and you still think illegal immigration is a significant problem in Canada.

    At least you can detect there's brainrot happening somewhere at least.

    No, I'm spouting genuine economic theory backed by evidence, not a boot licking agenda like you. Did I say illegal immigration was the only problem? You are you projecting you own insecurities about race? BTW you're on the side of big ag and fast food chains. Really really think about the policies you support.
