Yes so why are you assuming that's not the reasoning the people in the poll have? Barely anyone in Canada actually dislikes immigrants themselves
Well, you have to read the article/poll, because a large number said that immigrants (as people) are a harm to Canada.
We can agree to disagree on this point. Seeing how hate crimes are up, and that only visible minority immigrants are targeted, I'd say we are far from having a country where everyone likes immigrants (as people).
Aren't those hate crimes mostly among immigrants themselves? The recent gang problems in Vancouver are all from India.
I don't really pay attention outside of BC on this though
