🇨🇦 How Canada Has Become Divided On Immigration
📊 Most Say Canada Doesn’t Need More Immigrants
A recent Leger poll shows that 60% of Canadians think the country does not need new immigrants. Concerns include housing, healthcare, and economic pressure, with strong opposition seen in provinces like Alberta and Ontario.
👶 Younger Canadians Are More Supportive
Canadians aged 18 to 24 are more open to immigration, with 46% saying Canada needs more immigrants. Support drops sharply with age, showing a generational divide that could shape future policies.
🌍 Immigrants Are More Positive
People born outside Canada are more likely to support continued immigration. Their personal experiences often lead to empathy and understanding of the benefits newcomers bring to Canada.
🔮 What This Means for the Future
As younger Canadians grow into leadership roles, public opinion may shift. But economic concerns could still influence future views. Canada stands at a crossroads in defining its immigration identity.
