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.

    Well, when folks blame immigrants for taking the jobs the youth should be doing, they’re not talking about the ones from Europe.

      Plenty of people are also against immigration that aren’t the ones complaining about them taking jobs.

        And those are probably not the ones being accused of being racist by reasonable people.

            I said reasonable people. If your comment is discussing immigration policy and can be read as discussing immigration policy, then it’s not racist. I haven’t read any of your comments that may have set someone off, so that’s all I’ve got.
