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.
“InDiAnS took my TiMmY jOb”
Oh the Indian family that bought the franchise? You go buy one then. Oh wait you drive a lifted 90k truck but can’t afford to invest in your own business and can’t find a job? Sounds like someone needs a financial literacy class.
Basically this. I live in a rural community in SW Ontario and the locals here hate anyone from elsewhere but especially the South Asian community so my vote is that a lot of this is fueled by racism.
The lifted truck epidemic is truly out of control, I will never understand it. Are people really this insecure?
Lifted truck small PP voter energy is clearly in the room with us and they are mad about the Timmy job they never had. Tiny PP will bring it home for them 🤡💩
Excuse me? Pfffttt 90K … rokkie numbers more like 125k off the lot with an 8-year 6.25 % rate…
Cry harder for your Timmy job. Someone more qualified is handling that. Maybe go wash your truck or ask your mom for money again?
Can’t ask mom she lost her spot behind Wendy’s dumpster to yours.
A lifted truck is still cheaper than investing in your own franchise. I looked into it because the current job market is a joke. And I can’t even drive a lifted truck so that’d be wasting my money.
Yes, I have a job. I couldn’t afford a lifted truck even if I could drive one. That’s how I know I can’t afford to invest in a franchise.
Did someone take your Timmy job?
Nope, but they almost certainly took someone else’s. When my job goes it’s likely going to AI.
You can’t take something someone never had.
You saying people are never fired and replaced with someone will accept less?
Sure. New management means they can hire new people especially in a high employee turnover business like Timmy.
Most of the ppl complaining never had a job there to begin with. Can’t complain about losing what you never had.
Most of the people complaining probably know someone who did. Picture, if you will.
Employer hires someone for cheaper. Doesn’t need to be an immigrant, but for the sake of what we’re discussing, assume it is.
Employer gradually reduces the hours of a current employee for pick your reason. Likely current employee is part-time because they have few protections.
Current employee’s hours reach 0.
Current employee quits because well, they’re not getting hours.
That employee has successfully been replaced. Legally.
??? The house prices, the loss of progress on wage, job loss illegal immigration, and now we have a new mafia in the country that likes to do political assassinations. It’s not immigration people are against its the by product of unregulated immigration that hurt people. Even Karl Marx thought unfettered immigration is a tool used by the elite.
You’ve been sold a fake bridge if you think all this is due to immigration alone, and not the end result of economic and political philosophies that Marx more famously wrote about.
I mean, c’mon, illegal immigration is not at all a significant problem in Canada. That’s borrowed Republican rhetoric from the US.
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
So you don’t think we should buy canadian and train our people? Now I know you’re a Russian bot vying for corpo scum.
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.
My ancestors lived on Turtle Island before yours came over the ocean.
Wow you’re brain rotted, gl in the poverty prison you’re building. Pushing corpo agenda is truly peak intelligence.
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.
Implying that illegal immigration is indeed a significant problem in USA?
Cuz I assure you, leftists and commies there still argue that illegal immigration is not at all a significant problem in USA.
Marx and Engles famously wrote a whole bunch of eurocentric and bigoted nonsense. Who takes those racist idiots seriously in 2026 other than confused commies?
You’re not about to convince the majority that Trudeau era policy is not mass migration and is overall good for the average citizens.
You sound like a clown.
You still under the illusion that the majority in this country cares about pro-maximum-immigration crowd’s opinion at this point?
People want their lives to improve, immigrants improve their lives, this is a narrative that always appeals to people if you openly point out and reject the underlying racism and xenophobia of people like you who are trying to divide people with their snowflake feelings of anxiety about people that look different than them and fairy tale anecdotal stories they clutch on to as signs the sky is falling because of “new and scary” people.
That’s a lot of big assumptions for a tiny lil squirrel brain…
I’m glad that the majority doesn’t care about the opinions of idiotic elitist morons who think any conversation that isn’t 100% pro mass migration and sympathetic to illegal immigration is automatically"racism" and “xenophobia”.
The elitists are the ones that want to round immigrants up into concentration camps.
That’s only the implication to someone who believes “Republican rhetoric” is truthful by nature. But who could possibly be that stupid?
So anyone that’s not a Republican is a leftist or commie?
The things the Republicans have been saying and doing are far more geocentric and bigoted but you just argued how they were in the right. Is your problem that what Marx and Engels wrote wasn’t stupid enough? But what does this have to do with the fact that what you’er mad at them for writing is more relevant than what they referred to Marx about. It’s weird you got so sidetracked by this that you brought in Engels out of nowhere too.
It’d be weird if I did considering I wasn’t doing that at all.
You brought up Marx. I went ahead and mentioned his racist, supremacist buddy. Why so offended?
Republicans are shit. Even maple-MAGA is starting to question if pushing all the strength into culture wars is a winning strategy. Pissing on USian racists is easy.
Fixing our own and ourselves is harder. Being annoyed at Left doesn’t mean you’re chill with MAGA horseshit
Go back and re-read the comment I was replying to. Seems odd that someone who is the calm and collected one could miss that. The funny thing is that the thing I was referring to about Marx would actually be a criticism of Trudeau’s policies, so you’re actually taking the tack of defending Trudeau. Blindly defending Trudeau, basically.
So then how did you get that implication?
When you start sounding closer to MAGA horeshit than anyone else, that annoyance might not be justified. Like, you know, suggesting that anyone left of MAGA are leftists and commies.
Sure thing.
If you don’t agree with everything left proposes then you’re supporting MAGA.
You have to “act proper” and “civilized” before being annoyed at anything Left does. Otherwise your annoyance is not justified!. How uppity…
“I’m not MAGA, they just hate the same people I hate and they have convenient talking points I can use!”
“by product of unregulated immigration” citation needed
In his letter to Sigfrid Meyer and August Vogt, he lamented how the rush of cheap irish labour was being used to suppress wages across the nation.
Also use your brain dumdum it’s a basic law of supply and demand. Same thing happened when women started working.
Don’t tell me to use my brain and then slap me in the face with a childish overgeneralization.
Sorry, I just never to sure if people are stupid or willfully ignorant.
