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.

There should definitely be more screaming and less people entering our country
@95D9S523yrs3Y
No, because terrorism isn't only limited to one religion, and goes against Canada's beleifs system. In general, any dangerous persons should be barred from entering the country until the government improves its ability to screen out terrorists.
@94QDYMZ3yrs3Y
@946J5FZ3yrs3Y
The screening process should be increased & strengthened for ALL immigration applicants.

@93KL4543yrs3Y
Not just Muslims that’s racist

@9F86WSN2yrs2Y
do a background check before letting potential terrorists inside Canada.
@9F5BRHM2yrs2Y
They should NOT be banned from Canada because of their religion. Just because many terrorists have this religion does not make them all bad. Screeing should happen to keep potential danger out.
@9DZP4RD2yrs2Y
Yes! We don't want no more Osama bin laden's in here
@8SYWD4C4yrs4Y

It should not be banned from high risk countries, but it should screen out potential terrorists from those high risk countries.
@9FMTPLX2yrs2Y
They should not be banned but they should go through screening if the government believes they may be a terrorist
@9FMR4252yrs2Y
No but the deportation should be immediate if terrorist connections or activities are found. NO appeals
@9FMP9KR2yrs2Y

@9FKRT422yrs2Y

@9FJKKYZ2yrs2Y
@9FB77922yrs2Y
No but all immigrants should have their vetting GREATLY increased.
@9F9YT9G2yrs2Y
Proper screening and detailed background checks along with contribution room to the economy.
@96LXWDW3yrs3Y
It shouldn't just be against Muslims if that happens.
@95JMXPY3yrs3Y
No although they should be monitored to make sure they have no terrorist connections.
@95HDPYQNew Democratic3yrs3Y
no, but we should be aware of the threat
@959HJZ63yrs3Y

No but ensure competent screening for criminal background.
@95726TH3yrs3Y
Find a new way to ensure safety before doing anything drastic.
@955FTHQ3yrs3Y
There should be a basic "screening" a process which can prove that they are not terrosists.

Muslim immigrants should be screened to the utmost, but not outright banned however
@92YKHH63yrs3Y
No, just as long as Muslims keep their faith to themselves
@92TDGFR3yrs3Y
Every person immigrating to Canada should undergo the same screening process
@92M8FFH3yrs3Y
No, Banning on religion is stupid. Should be increased screening from high risk countries but other than that no.
@8Z3VCCP3yrs3Y
Yes, until we have the technology to screen them. But if they are in danger in their own country, just keep an eye on them
@8Z3PWDM3yrs3Y
I believe any immigrants should be scanned- not just ones of a certain nationalism.
@8YW224FConservative3yrs3Y
No, but do screening incase they are a terrorist
@8YC2DFN3yrs3Y
No, we should just ban any potential terrorist regardless of there ideological beliefs
@8Y8PJZR3yrs3Y
yes but how does a test truly prove anyones a threat
@8XLDKZQ3yrs3Y
No, but the screening process needs to be improved especially of those from high risk country’s
Yes, we should stop taking all immigrants until we decrease our national debt and increase our spending towards taking care of veterans
@8WYP82X3yrs3Y
No, but the screening process should be more rigorous
@8WNBD9K4yrs4Y
we should allow people who we can tell they are not terists and make check peoples bags that are coming from high risk contrys.
@8WLJNNQ4yrs4Y
No, this is straight-up racist
@8WBDHGQ4yrs4Y
only if they are found with any potential dangerously items
@8VW99PP4yrs4Y
Govt should improve ability to screen out potential terrorists both foreign and domestic. Not single out one people based on race, religious or country of origin.
@8VW95B64yrs4Y
WHY IS THE WORD “MUSLIM” in the same sentence as “TERRORIST” ???
@8VVYNXG4yrs4Y
No, but immigrants from “high risk” countries should be thoroughly checked be being allowed
@8VVMYDX4yrs4Y
No, but improve government screening of individuals
@8VVKKFK4yrs4Y

@8VVGGJW4yrs4Y
there should be more screening done
@8VV435Q4yrs4Y
Stricter screening policy from high risk countries
@8VV2Q654yrs4Y
No, but there should be extensive background checks done before entering. Also, the religion should not matter. All persons wanting to enter the country should have to go through the same process.
@8VTZZNJ4yrs4Y
Just need better screening
@8VTTQ554yrs4Y
just make sure they are screened properly for criminals
@8VTS2BW4yrs4Y
No but more strict guidelines and checks put in place
@8VSRZ8M4yrs4Y
Any immigrants should be screened for criminal or terrioist activity.
@8VSNX574yrs4Y
Yes, but make room and support locals first
@8VSBR5C4yrs4Y
No, but higher screening processes for immigrants from high risk countries

no, allow them to immigrate using the current way of screening.
@8VQYRBH4yrs4Y

@8VQD3LC4yrs4Y
All immigration should stop until the government improves its screening process
@8VPVCVL4yrs4Y
If they come from a part of terrorist ideas check them out first but for others who have nothing to do with terrorists should be checked out then let in Canada
@8VPCP3R4yrs4Y
I think screening needs to be done but not banning any access. For “higher risk” country’s. Request higher screening. But any immigrant should be properly screened for possible terrorism.
@8VNW5FV4yrs4Y
We should only be taking in immigrants that can contribute to our country regardless of race or religion. Let them in as long as they are safe and can contribute
@8VNNV57New Democratic4yrs4Y
Be allowed in the country. But be screened and not be able to vote. ( but technically everyone should be screened.. anyone can be a terrorist!)
@8VNKWGV4yrs4Y
no we should not ban Muslim immigrants, the fact that its specified to JUST Muslims is xenophobic
@8VMRWH84yrs4Y
Screening should be increased for high risk but those that meet the criteria should be treated equally
@8VMHHP44yrs4Y
No as long as they are monitored and have extreme background screening
@8VMFBQ64yrs4Y
Let Muslim immigrants come here and other cultures but be a screen check, just like we should with everyone else.
@8VMDPV84yrs4Y
Banning people from entering the country based on belief is not in our constitution, as they may be seeking asylum in Canada. I still believe they should undergo a screening process.
@8VMCZJJ4yrs4Y
I don't think we should ban them but I do believe that stronger screening for anybody entering the Country is something we need to consider.
@8VLTDY74yrs4Y
no but there should be a screening process with more depth to countries who have subatantial terrorists cells
@8VLQT7V4yrs4Y
they should be screened, but no.
@8VLMFCT4yrs4Y
No, but the government needs to improve their screening process for all immigrants
@8VLLWVF4yrs4Y
No, the question is racist, we should ban immigrants from “high risk” countries AND improve the screening process
@8VLD6CSConservative4yrs4Y
They should make sure people that come from country’s who have a bad rap go through the proper citizenship to make sure they arnt associated with dangerous groups. It’s not based on religion.
@8VLCRKP4yrs4Y
Allow them in after a background check
@8VKJF3S4yrs4Y
No matter the culture, the screening process should be the same for everyone.
@8VJX2SJ4yrs4Y
No, but there should be continuous monitoring until the screening process is complete.
@8VJRRKC4yrs4Y
Focus on most vulnerable and strengthen screening
@8VJH2554yrs4Y
Citizens and immigrabts have the right to feel safe. Figure it out.
@8VJFQJN4yrs4Y
Absolutely not in fact the pr status is an absolute money grab ppl with pr statuses pay more to the government than most super rich and that’s wrong
@8VJ4TBZ4yrs4Y
I believe they should be allowed to come here if screening deems them safe however giving them money and homes should not be a part of the deal. We should be helping our own first as we have high homeless numbers and our seniors and veterans are being ignored in my opinion.
@8VHWNG54yrs4Y
No, but I think those from ''high risk'' countries should have a good reason for coming here, have a plan, and undergo psychological tests. This should be done along with any current screening they have in place.
@8VHV7XS4yrs4Y
Until we fix our own internal situations we should not allowe refugees from other countries
