No, and make the process easier for refugees

Reply

 @9F9TW79Conservativefrom Ontario  disagreed…2yrs2Y

We already have a huge influx of immigrants, and we don't have the infrastructure to house these immigrants. In Canada immigrants are buying up homes, and taking up jobs from canadians. If anything we need to reduce immigration.

 @9F976D8 from Washington  disagreed…2yrs2Y

So what are we just going to let these people that come to Canada suffer in the country they suffer in? We can build more houses and build on new workplaces (Environmentally friendly of course). And plus, for the workplace, why cant the immigrants and Canadians work together,

 @9F8TWDJPeople’sfrom Alberta  disagreed…2yrs2Y

Easier immigration also comes with less screening of the immigrants themselves and increases the likelihood that an individual supporting or with the intent of terrorism is allowed through. Too much immigration also puts a strain on the economy as well as the housing market.

 @9LZRTQRfrom Alberta  disagreed…12mos12MO

Immigration is needed, but we should be somewhat more selective, taking more workers and families who will help build this country stronger.

 @9KF2HWL from British Columbia  disagreed…1yr1Y

The current state of the housing availability in Canada does not accommodate the increased immigration policy. We should be cutting the number down, not adding to the problem of insufficient supply.

 @9JM6BQQfrom Alberta  disagreed…1yr1Y

We are already stretching thin on resources and jobs, how are they supposed to survive in this country if there isn't enough for us now?

 @9HRV2HTConservativefrom Quebec  disagreed…1yr1Y

We’re having a simultaneously housing and healthcare crisis, we cannot support more people at the moment

 @9GYC3TPChristian Heritagefrom Ontario  disagreed…1yr1Y

Then all of our taxes would go to welfare homes and other things that they need, they could bring problems here.

 @9FWQHW3from British Columbia  agreed…2yrs2Y

Canada is a nation of immigrants, most coming here to start a better life. Who are we to say no to someone fleeing war and finding a home here. Without refugees, Canada looses its very essence. The process is extremely difficult, timely and expensive and needs to be streamlined.

 @9FHWH4Qfrom Ontario  disagreed…2yrs2Y

Making the process easier for refugees would mean there would be less screening and in turn increase the potential of a dangerous individual entering Canada.

 @9FFB2S3New Democraticfrom Ontario  disagreed…2yrs2Y

Because if it’s easier people will always apply as refugees and take the opportunity from someone that is really in danger

 @9F7VBMLfrom Ontario  disagreed…2yrs2Y

Immigration makes the life of people that already live here harder with less jobs and stuff like that.

 @9G2JQGNfrom Ontario  agreed…2yrs2Y

I agree to make the process easier, I have a immigrant mother and it took her almost 10 years just to get her Canadian residency, she had to work hard to not get sent back to her homeland and to get me and my siblings taken away just to stay in Canada, it was a big struggle for her and I wouldn't want anybody else going through this.

FBI Director Chris Wray Will Resign

The F.B.I. director, Christopher A. Wray, told bureau employees on Wednesday that he intended to resign before the Trump administration begins, bowing to the reality that President-elect Donald J. Trump had publicly declared his desire to replace him.Mr. Wray made the disclosure while addressing employees Wednesday afternoon in remarks that tacitly acknowledged the politically charged position the F.B.I. now faces with an incoming president who openly scorns the agency.“I’ve decided the right thing for the bureau is for me to serve until the end of the current administration in January and then step down,” Mr. Wray said, adding, “This is the best way to avoid dragging the bureau deeper into the fray, while reinforcing the values and principles that are so important to how we do our work.”The director spoke wistfully about his time at the F.B.I. “This is not easy for me,” he said. “I love this place, I love our mission and I love our people.”The announcement comes after Mr. Trump said in late November that he intended to nominate Kash Patel, a longtime loyalist, to run the F.B.I., and more than two years before Mr. Wray’s 10-year term would have expired.Paul Abbate, the deputy F.B.I. director, is set to retire in April but would typically serve as acting director until Mr. Patel is confirmed. It is not clear who would replace Mr. Abbate, the most senior agent in the bureau.Over more than seven years, Mr. Wray oversaw one of the most consequential and tumultuous periods in the bureau’s history, juggling high-profile criminal investigations of political figures, heated congressional inquiries and two attempted assassinations of Mr. Trump.

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.
