A lot of Canada is populated by refugees and people looking for a better life. Though they do need to look into things a bit more carefully in the government to see if Canada can handle any more stress. Be that economically or socially.

 @B2JBSJ2from Ontario  answered…3mos3MO

Yes, but also work on strengthening our country so we can welcome others to this culture and way of life without backlash on our systems and citizens.

 @B2ZSZNSfrom Ontario  answered…2mos2MO

Yes, as a way to press a rest button so that we restrict the number of immigrants until we have the systems and infrastucture to help and support them upon their arrival, then gradually increase the number of immigrants to what is a sustainable level.

Abolish cultural relativism, hold new immigrants to Western standards of gender equality, respect for LGBT and children/animal rights.

 @8VNCMQQfrom Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

Not for those who whats to reunite with their family

 @8THCVNQfrom Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

I believe that while immigrants are essential to the economy, during the pandemic, it will be important to have some restrictions until the pandemic ends.

 @8RPW8WPfrom Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

No, but we should ensure we have the infrastructure in place to adequately support them and consider environmental issues (we can't just keep building subdivisions endlessly) in high-density areas when creating policy.

 @8HXMMJNConservativefrom Ontario  answered…5yrs5Y

yes and there should be a cap for the amount of people that can immigrate each year

 @8DZNDXKfrom Ontario  answered…5yrs5Y

No, First Nations, Inuit and Metis should be able to enact stricter policies about how Canadian government is structured and who holds positions.

 @99JRRBJfrom Ontario  answered…2yrs2Y

No Canada should be invite the people as a work permit or like a students visa because the Canada population is not too much.

 @97NRTW8from Ontario  answered…2yrs2Y

Skilled workers should be favored. Don't go overboard on the numbers without extensive check on the nation's requirements for the work force.

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.
