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.

    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.

        Nope, but they almost certainly took someone else’s. When my job goes it’s likely going to AI.

            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.

                1. Employer hires someone for cheaper. Doesn’t need to be an immigrant, but for the sake of what we’re discussing, assume it is.

                2. Employer gradually reduces the hours of a current employee for pick your reason. Likely current employee is part-time because they have few protections.

                3. Current employee’s hours reach 0.

                4. Current employee quits because well, they’re not getting hours.

                That employee has successfully been replaced. Legally.
