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.

I'm pretty sure if we wanted to know everything on a person nowadays we could. You guys got that covered. We work with the US on intelligence. Come on now.
Yes but some people should be able to enter if they have their family in Canada
@9M3Q54Q2wks2W
If they are thought to be a terrorists, then they get the boot.
@9M3PSVWConservative2wks2W
If they refugees, you can let them in if they pass a specific test.
@9JXW8SV3mos3MO
instead of being banned, i think we should run intense background checks of the individuals who are entering the country.
@9JXR49B3mos3MO
They should not be banned, but there should be thorough investigation before they are allowed in.
@9JXFQRR 3mos3MO
Yes, but refuges should still be allowed to enter.
@9JWWFBK3mos3MO
We should speed up the improvement in screening - banning has too many negative impacts
@9JQ8T5J3mos3MO
No, but ensure they pass the background checks & do not have a history of committing serious crimes.
@9JJJ7GS3mos3MO
not banned. could be people wanting to flee those conditions. However special vetting is needed to ensure they are not going to be a national thereat
@9J5H48T4mos4MO
Put equal effort into understanding domestic terrorism from non minority groups
@9J233ZK4mos4MO
Depends if Canada has a strained relation ship with that country such as Iran
@9HYTRSF4mos4MO
Keep a close eye on them if they are to stay in Canada
@9HLHBSS5mos5MO
No, but subject them to more stringent vetting procedures
@9H6XNKXConservative6mos6MO
No. I don’t trust the government to assess what a “high risk country” would be.
@9H645856mos6MO
That’s discrimination based on their nation of origin.
@9H26K8S6mos6MO
No, but I still think that improving the ability to screen potential terrorists is a smart idea.
@9GZYG4J6mos6MO
Yes, regardless whether the government improves its ability to screen out potential Threat or not.
@9LHLKDC1mo1MO
No. Screen them heavily to be sure they aren't a threat.
@9L5GNDK2mos2MO
Yes but they could undergo a certain test that will determine and classify if they are terrorists or not
@9L4MFDN2mos2MO
Immigrants form hight risk and war torrn countries like seriea and iraq are some times in the most need
@9L2P5YG2mos2MO
It depends on the situation. If there is a potential danger alert from a few people with suspicious backgrounds, there should be more investigation, but if there is no suspicion then there should be no holdup.
@9KZBBVN2mos2MO
We want to be safe but this can lead to discrimination of people from countries that are black brown or muslim
@9KFT4PS2mos2MO
Not banned. Maybe more like a detainee. Then screen them.
@9K6M4543mos3MO
If none come in deadly it is all good then, it depends on where they're going as well.
@9K6HR9K3mos3MO
No, we are too isolated to care, and we should get land from the states if it collapses.
@9K3DVX43mos3MO
Depending on the situation, the immigrants from high risk countries shouldn't be banned from entering the country, however should be interrogated a few weeks before entering.
@9GNXXXT6mos6MO
That's against the constitution to discriminate on religion, and would be a huge reversal from the history of a move to a more progressive immigration system, as we have a points based (not race or faith based) immigration system.
@9GJ3KYY7mos7MO
No only if that person poses a national threat to the country
@9GC9ZWDConservative7mos7MO
only if the individual is deemed a security threat.
@9G99M557mos7MO
There should be a thorough background check on the immigrant and all their stuff coming in. Especially their social network.
Unless they are refugees trying to escape to save their lives.
@9G5ZNBB7mos7MO
no and yes because it could look like you are just assuming that they are a terrorist but it is also good because we have to protect our country as well
