| Abstract: |
It is the best of worlds, it is the worst of worlds. That seems to be the gamut of perceptions about Canada in terms of immigration and refugees. We are the world’s most welcoming and tolerant nation for immigrants and refugees; we are a country of systemic but hidden racism and employment discrimination. Our economic prosperity depends on new arrivals and we need a wide-open immigration policy; immigrants are transforming the country like “an armed invasion.” Illegal aliens are a serious threat that must be severely dealt with; they are the least of the crimes that afflict the country. We suffer a brain drain; we enjoy a brain gain. Everybody has an opinion. |
