???? 23% of all Canadians are first-generation immigrants. Permanent Residents are legal immigrants. 48% probably includes some of these immigrants that want to deport themselves. What are y'all smoking?
And most Canadians are descended from immigrants who arrived in the past century.
Like 98% if you extend that to two centuries.
We're an immigrant nation, which is arguably how we've kept a lid on xenophobia until now. (And still are, probably; they chose the most doomer stats for the headline)
It's due to the housing crisis. If we had the infrastructure to support the influx of immigrants, Canadians wouldn't be so opposed to them.
Now's that's the title of a study I want to read:
What are y'all smoking?
Abstract: Akrasia + Social Media = WTF
I'm guessing it's almost entirely within the 70% that "just" have immigrant grandparents.
I'm not for mass deportation, but if you're an immigrant yourself and you're calling for this I think you should set a good example and take off.
