[lbo-talk] Poll: Canadian attitudes to immigration

[Marv Gandall]

Despite the recent victories of provincial right-wing parties in Ontario and Quebec, a new national poll shows three in four of Canadians surveyed have a “positive” view of immigration and don’t consider it a concern. 

If accurate, that finding could present a quandary for the federal Conservative party, a large part of whose base reflects the same anti-immigrant prejudices as in the US and Europe and which it fears losing to a newly formed splinter party to its right.
