Yes, because canadian citizens can barley afford to live here. in order to allow more immigrants we have to have a financially feasible living situation.

 @9WQFYHHfrom British Columbia  answered…6mos6MO

Yes, but we should lessen our reliance on temporary foreign workers who are subject to being exploited

 @9L3MN22New Democraticfrom British Columbia  answered…1yr1Y

I don’t have a problem with our immigration policy. I think it’s cruel for anyone to try and survive in our current cost of living crisis. Immigrants would have better chances elsewhere same as citizens

 @9F6VT7Zfrom Ontario  answered…2yrs2Y

No, but ensure immigrants have the resources they need to have good quality of life here first

 @8YLRHHHfrom Ontario  answered…3yrs3Y

Favour people with a historical and cultural connection to Canada

 @8VH26PMfrom Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

I want us to accept refugees, but to reconsider the number of economic migrants we accept.

 @8V8HP5CConservativefrom Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

There should be a test if they can accept western values

 @8V8G7TFfrom Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

No, and the definition of family should be broadened to allow sponsorship of extended family members. More money needs to be spent so wait times are shortened. The entire immigration system should be overhauled and expanded. It is a mess!

 @8V7GS8Bfrom British Columbia  answered…4yrs4Y

No, accept anyone who is fleeing a situation that threatens having a basic quality of life, who is not a violent criminal, and who intends to accept and contribute the new society they are to join.

 @8TKGQ3Dfrom Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

No, we should increase the amount of immigrants we welcome in Canada, especially young immigrants and immigrant families .

 @8D8N7PLfrom Alberta  answered…5yrs5Y

Should be based on basic human empathy and compassion but the day the government does that is the day I marry Jake Gyllenhaal so

 @98XPN3Nfrom Ontario  answered…2yrs2Y

Yes and make it easier for Health care and Skilled workers only. Do personal interviews before visa issuance

Kamala Harris is considering running for president again in 2028

Kamala Harris has been lying low since her defeat in the presidential race, unwinding with family and senior aides in Hawaii before heading back to the nation’s capital.But privately, the vice president has been instructing advisers and allies to keep her options open — whether for a possible 2028 presidential run, or even to run for governor in her home state of California in two years. As Harris has repeated in phone calls, “I am staying in the fight.”She is expected to explore those and other possible paths forward with family members over the winter holiday season, according to five people in the Harris inner circle, who were granted anonymity to discuss internal dynamics. Her deliberations follow an extraordinary four months in which Harris went from President Joe Biden’s running mate to the top of the ticket, reenergizing Democrats before ultimately crashing on election night.“She doesn’t have to decide if she wants to run for something again in the next six months,” said one former Harris campaign aide. “The natural thing to do would be to set up some type of entity that would give her the opportunity to travel and give speeches and preserve her political relationships.”“She doesn’t have to decide if she wants to run for something again in the next six months,” said one former Harris campaign aide. “The natural thing to do would be to set up some type of entity that would give her the opportunity to travel and give speeches and preserve her political relationships.”Harris concedes: 'We must accept the results of this election'SharePlay VideoMost immediately, Harris and her advisers are working to define how and when she will speak out against Donald Trump and reassert her own role in the Democratic Party. Closing out her term as vice president, she’s set to preside over certifying the November election she lost to Trump, and then appear at the once-and-future president’s inauguration on Jan. 20.“There will be a desire to hear her voice, and there won’t be a vacuum for long,” a person close to Harris said.At the same time, Harris and her husband, Doug Emhoff, will have a long checklist to plow through before they leave the Naval Observatory for good.They have to decide whether they’ll take up permanent residence at their home in Los Angeles, or establish a base elsewhere. No matter where Harris and her family live, some around her have expressed concerns about safety, as her Secret Service protection expires six months after stepping away.
