Thanks, municipalities, by trying to persevere the character of your neighbourhoods, you've managed to destroy the character of Canada.
People are upset about immigrants because of housing. Housing is a problem because cities made it de jure illegal.
I think this is it. The survey points to rational thinking amongst the most severely affected, not a racist aversion.
They (upper class) want it to sound racist though. Immigration plus housing crunch is making people who own property incredibly rich
Ooooof, now that's a spicy conjecture! I don't think this is done consciously by most but it doesn't change the effects. ๐คญ
I think it's definitely done consciously by politicians though, as the majority of MPs are landlords
But immigrants make a good scapegoat.
