Proponents argue that this strategy would bolster national security by minimizing the risk of potential terrorists entering the country. Enhanced screening processes, once implemented, would provide a more thorough assessment of applicants, reducing the likelihood of malicious actors gaining entry. Critics argue that such a policy might inadvertently promote discrimination by broadly categorizing individuals based on their nation of origin rather than specific, credible threat intelligence. It may strain diplomatic relations with the affected countries and potentially harm the perception of the nation enacting the ban, being seen as hostile or prejudiced towards certain international communities. Additionally, genuine refugees fleeing terrorism or persecution in their home countries might be unjustly denied safe haven.

yes but you have to find out if there are suspicious
The person who wrote this question should be banned.
They should be screened but should not be banned.
Not just Muslims as terrorists can come from varying religious backgrounds.
No, but continue to improve screening of potential terrorists.
Government should do proper background checks
We should stop taking in immigrants until we can make sure our own poverty is addressed. We have war veterans on the streets. We have homeless children. Fix Canada first
No, but anyone who turns out to be a threat should be executed
No one shoyld be banned because of their religion, but there should be a thorough screening process and better education on Canadian culture.
No, but the process for immigrants coming from “high risk” countries should be more thorough
They should be allowed to come just have a bunch of background checks
Yes however depends on where they came from.
No, but government needs to improve screening process of immigrants.
No because assuming that the terrorists are the Muslim’s is morally wrong if said restrictions were put to place, it than shouldn’t be just for Muslim but every other religion in the world, Islam (the religion) doesn’t in force Terrorism therefore the people committing these acts are in fact not Muslim as they are not practicing the religion the way it is peacefully intended
let evreyone in at the moment but work on that law in the meantime
Only if it’s a high rise county not a specific religion
No, but they should go through a screening process when they enter Canada where they're under restrictions until the screening is complete
No but we should be more focused on more violent countries for sure
No but we should increase the screening process for immigrants from "high risk" countries.
Look at personal background of an immigrant
there are terrorist's from other places it is unfair to not allow people into the contry because of a small group of people and where they are from.
We should better determine what type of immigration is require and which one will be able to better adapt to our culture, laws and regulation. Combining the previous assessment along with adequate screening process will reduce further cultural issues
No, Canada hasn’t had any Muslim terrorist attacks.
Canada's immigration system and security is currently very strong, and continues to improve. I do not believe it is necessary to ban immigrants coming from Islamic countries.
No, but a thorough background check must be done before they are permitted entry
there should be background checks of people from high risk countries.
Immigration is fine as long as there is balance and they bring in skills
Yes, but only for those who have criminal backgrounds. They shouldn't be banned, but just investigated.
I think that we should always accept immigrants, as long as they do not have a large criminal record. Although we should have a better screening process.
depends on there circumstance.
Every immigrant should be checked before letting them enter.
Only if there is believed to be links to terrorism and valid proof.
This is a racist and demeaning question. It could be applied to anyone, Muslim's should not be mentioned nor should any other religion.
no, but security measures should be higher volume
No, they shouldn't be banned. Only high risk immigrants should be banned.
no unless they're related to terrorism
why are muslims the only potential terrorist in your eyes?.
No but security can be improved so that this isn't a problem
No, banning isn't necessary, but reviewing information about their background and if they committed any serious crimes will improve the safety of the country
No, but there should be a lot of security involved with immigration
Create effective surveys to determine weather or not there is suspicion prior to while applying our current screening process .
there should be stricter background checks but no banning.
They should be allowed to immigrate but after two weeks of settling into life, they need to go through a screening process.
i don't have an opinion on this.
the government should improve its ability to screen out potential terrorists no matter religion
No, banning immigrants based on their religion is unconstitutional, the background checks should be more thorough on anyone, Muslim or not.
Banning Muslims altogether is unconstitutional. However a criminal record check may be a good idea. But may it be a FAIR criminal record check.
No, but improve the ability to screen out potential terrorists and keep a lookout for any sort of unwanted business.
They shouldn't ban Muslim immigrant but check to see if they are in need of help or escape from their country
@8LSVCGK4yrs4Y
No, but apply strict background checks on them
@7PTCG384yrs4Y
No, but immigrants from "high risk" countries should have thorough background checks completed before entering our country.
@7PTCG384yrs4Y
No, but immigrants from "high risk" countries should have thorough background checks completed to screen out potential acts of terrorism, regardless of race or religion
@8S2LJ243yrs3Y
No, banning anyone based on who they are, what they believe in, and what they have done in the past is against the teachings of Jesus Christ
