Headline:

 

 

https://edmonton.cit...-citynews-poll/

 

 

Reality:  they only polled people in Toronto, Calgary, Vancouver and Edmonton.

 

 

 

 

 

Moreover, 22 per cent of those polled in Toronto, Calgary, Edmonton and Vancouver want the government to fully shut the door to allowing any new applicants into Canada for the foreseeable future.

 

Residents surveyed were split on those who agree that new immigrants are having a positive impact in their city versus those who disagree with the sentiment highest in Vancouver with 54 per cent agreeing. Forty-nine per cent of those surveyed in Toronto and Calgary agreed followed by 48 per cent in Edmonton.

_____________________________

 

A four cities average found that almost half of residents, 45 per cent, believe that Canada should continue to receive applicants from each of the five streams but at a reduced level for the next two years.

 

When asked to rank the order of which stream should be prioritized, those same residents placed international students at the top with 49 per cent ranking it first, followed by refugees at 47 per cent, temporary foreign workers and sponsored family at 45 percent, followed by economic immigrants.

 

 

 

 

 

So you start with that "vast majority" in the headline, and you see that actually half the people want immigration slowed, and 20% want it cancelled outright.

Of course most don’t want it shut completely…. Can there never be a reasonable conversation?

...Can there never be a reasonable conversation?

Surely after 9 years you are familiar with both the Liberal and MSM tactics. Reasonable is not in their vocabularies.

Yup that's what I'm thinking, I know absolutely nobody that wants it stopped completely.  That would not be good with our birth-rate.

 

Why not do something ike this, set immigration at a level we would need to make our birth-rate look like 2.25?  Instead of the 1.43 it is now.

 

In fact there is somerthing quite positive to be said for bringing in 20-year-olds that will work and pay taxes right away, rather than waiting for our own babies to enter the workforce in 18-22 years. Bring in some Catholic or other religious non-gays and we get both - workers to start right away and immigrants that will have maximum babies.

Frankly, I'm not even sure it needs to be set. Just stop importing people through active selling and recruitment. Just set the rule of law and let it happen organically. No criminal records, need a sponsor, be it work or loved ones or a physical school, a place to live. No government support financially unless you become a permanent resident (except for a free flight home).

The Onion buys Alex Jones's conspiracy site Infowars at bankruptcy auction


The Chicago-based Onion acquired the conspiracy theory platform's website, social media accounts, studio in Austin, Texas, trademarks and its video archive.

Jones confirmed The Onion's acquisition of Infowars in a social media video Thursday and said he planned to file legal challenges to stop it. An email message seeking comment was sent to Infowars.

"Last broadcast now live from Infowars studios. They are in the building. Are ordering shutdown without court approval," Jones said on the social platform X. Jones was broadcasting live from the Infowars studio Thursday morning and appeared distraught, putting his head in his hand at his desk.

Ya it’s poor writing. Not funny. They get the irony right in the headline but then the article is not funny.
