      Well, Canada doesn’t have country quota caps to ensure broad and equal diversity of immigrants. This has quite obviously led to an over abundance of immigrants from specific countries and regions, which also happen to be very conservative and have different views towards things we value like gender equality and expression.

      Liberal govt who’s handing out the tons of Visas will tell you this isn’t true and r4c1st to say so. lol

      This is why immigration should never be so high. The cost is to great to the culture of Canada. Good luck yelling at a mass number of people that their opinion isnt inclusive.

      It needs to be a slower more methodical approach

      Damn, I thought Canada would become more progressive by bringing in millions of socially regressive and intolerant 3rd world villlagers.

      Who could have seen this coming?

      I mean it’s basically the exact same for just men in general who are born here.  Immigrant women and Canadian born men are the nearly identical for acceptance. Foreign men aren’t that much lower either. 

      71% for Canadian men born here vs 70% and 67% are not much different in acceptance really.

      I am shocked!!!
      Shocked that people think that a person from the Global South changes their values the moment they at Pearson or Trudeau!!!

      Honestly, when you allow a certain group of religious extremists into our country, whether they are immigraits or refugees,what do you think is going to happen?

      It should never happen, and so much s*it that has been exposed throughout the past couple years, is appalling.

      Immigrants escaping repressive regimes to come to a “free” country only to impose those same beliefs they escaped on the citizens here.

      Given that most immigration into Canada in the last thirty or more years has been from areas where more traditional societal norms hold sway (religious, conservative, etc) this shouldn’t be a surprise.

      It also tracks with the Canadian military’s recent experience in recruiting noncitizens with a view to fast tracking their PR/citizenship status. They discovered that a lot of male noncitizen recruits (from parts of the world where women’s rights haven’t advanced) didn’t respect their female fellow recruits and had trouble taking direction and orders from female superiors.

      Go figure.

      So many of the people that support what is basically unfettered immigration are having a leopard ate my face moment.

      It’s the great Liberal conundrum.

      But they don’t want to talk about it.
      And if you do, they call you racist.

    17. Imaginary_Section24 on

      Is this surprising? I feel like just based on logic alone this is pretty obvious. A majority of the immigrants coming in are socially conservative and religious. It’s not surprising that they aren’t supporting it. Pull up the support numbers for freedom of sexuality too. Probably shows the same results

      What’s surprising about this?

      Just in general, most countries are more socially conservative than we are. Unless we actively look for progressive elements trying to get out, the average is going to be more socially conservative. It may not be in our interest to take the progressives, long term: we want them there, fighting the good fight.

      I’m not really concerned about it though. Their children will grow up here and absorb our values, and look at their parents as old world cultures out of touch. It’s fine. That’s how it has always been.

    21. Tyrocious on

      Wait so when immigrants come from countries with no gender equality and we make no efforts whatsoever to instill those values in them, they just…keep their own values?

      Isn’t multiculturalism grand?

    23. wet_suit_one on

      Colour me completely unsurprised.

      Canada’s kinda at the bleeding edge of human rights and freedoms, so this is to be expected.

    24. AffectionateBuy5877 on

      In other news, the sky is blue. What do you think happens when you have a bunch of immigrants from conservative and religiously dominant countries moving to a western, liberal country? That they will all magically change their values?

    26. Radical_Redditor on

      Let me just preface: I am pro choice, I am pro equality, and I am pro LGBT rights.

      But it will be interesting seeing the demographics change in this country, to the point where special interest groups start to get elected in more than just let’s say, specific ridings that have had a complete overhaul in demographic.

      I think most people are familiar with the extremist side of Islam (which obviously isn’t everyone, some of the best guys I know are Somali), but it’s not just Islam with some backwards views.

      A not so fun fact: it’s legal to sexually assault your underage wife in India. And we are not vetting people coming into this country (in high numbers), who believe these things to be normal.

    29. peaceandkindred on

      Yes. This shouldn’t be surprising. Modern day “progressives” fighting for open borders are on a naive crusade to destroy the most progressive and culturally evolved countries in the world.

      You can thank the media and pandering politicians for your brainwashing. Break free now.

    30. AllGamer on

      Let the kids be whatever they want to be!.

      Old outdated cultures should not prevent their kids to learn and adapt to new world 21st century cultures

    32. the_small_one1826 on

      I’m pretty sure that studies have shown that the very first Canadian-born generations align with Canadian identities and morals? Just like how many Canadians have very different views than their parents….

    33. chavz25 on

      The conservative dilemma. Doesn’t want immigrants, but they are the only ones that agree with them on social issues
