Life dissatisfaction increases support for right-wing populist parties by fostering political distrust and anti-immigration sentiment, according to a study analyzing survey data from 14 European countries.
Canada used to have a strict policy and on some levels still do outside of the programs being instituted to supplement the workforce and to bring refugees in from complex zones, we’ve allowed in over double the previous amount for the past couple of years, under various refugee programs. Going a bit farther back there was a large influx of Syrians (and tasty shwarma!). The canada.ca website details the rapid increase in numbers quite well.
I would never say that these people move to Canada are not true Canadians because at one point my family got here on a boat and my wife’s family escaped an islamist regime to come here too. We’re both quite Canadian in culture and jean jackets.
From what I see, many of these problems derive from cultural conflicts that were previously not apparent because while many people knew to a country tend to stick together when they are a true minority, they tend to work to fit in. When you have large waves of people coming at once, there’s no impetus for them to fit in because they can stay within their own cultural confines… As sad as it is to say, some of those cultural confines are very much at odds with the greater Canadian culture.
I find it incredibly lazy to make such a big statement and then not back it up with data, not even on request. But I checked myself and what I found does not back your statement at all. Maybe I’m looking at different numbers than you did and in that case I’d like to see yours but from what I see they let in roughly the same number of people for decades.
Regarding the cultural compatibility, again, they were saying the same thing about German refugees within Germany and they’re saying that right now in Poland about Ukrainians, and in Turkey about Syrians, hell even in Lebanon and Jordan about Syrians. So to get back about your initial point, I don’t think it has anything to do with middle eastern culture, it has to do with people being xenophobic in general and the media and politicians fueling that for their own benefit.
You’re lazily conflating immigration and refugee data. It’s a combination of both the Canada is struggling with. Right now. There’s no shortage of analysis or study showing that far too many people are coming to Canada than our system can handle. Even the federal government who is the one who set these policies have started walking them back.
As someone who hails from a middle Eastern culture and is married to an Iranian refugee, I can say with certainty that the influx of people coming from the places that my wife and I escaped are absolutely causing societal problems for us here in Canada. I’m far from a pull. The ladder up behind me. Kind of guy but I’m also a citizen of this country which is being quite clearly impacted by the oversaturation of new people coming from very small pockets of this planet into Canada. This isn’t being driven by politicians. Both the conservative and the liberal sides of politics in this country are very much pro-immigration due to our inability to maintain our population rates and tax base without it. The people of Canada on the other hand are starting to show more and more discontent with this approach.
Thanks for the source. I see what you mean but even at 400k migrants vs 200k we’re talking like an increase from 0.5% to 1% of the total population. In Germany we took something like 3% in 2015 and honestly it was often a chaos but we absolutely managed. There was mostly the problem that everyone wanted to go to the big cities because of racism in the countryside and terrible infrastructure if you didn’t have a car.
Well regarding the rest what can I say, I wish you all the best, but if you think you or your wife will be left alone because you’re the good kind of migrant vs all the others who are from „backwards Islamic cultures“, that’s not how right wing populism works. If it hits them, you’re gonna be next sooner or later. People have tried riding the wave before, there were even Jews fighting for the Wehrmacht in WW2 until they ended up in the camps. Hope you don’t mind the analogy but I hope you get my point.
As someone who’s here because his family had to flee the situation you describe in your last paragraph to the middle East and then to Canada. I’m not ignorant enough to forget the poem ’ first they came for’
That’s outside of the reality being faced by Canadians today and they’re rightful anger towards the situation.
Lmao I now see from your post history that you’re probably Israeli and also a genocide denier. Welp good luck then, despite this horrible worldview I sincerely wish that you’ll never be on the receiving end of the politics you wish for others.
I’m a Canadian. I just happen to understand what a genocide is and isn’t unlike what appears to be a concerning number of westerners who clearly lack critical thinking skills or a baseline education to understand the reality that is before them and see through a Muslim brotherhood propaganda that they are being taught.
