Water is wet, more news at 7.
Most immigrants are religious, yeah…
Yea we know. We’re just pretending its not the case.
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.
I’m sure Canadian conservatives are happy about this.
Immigrants escaping repressive regimes to come to a “free” country only to impose those same beliefs they escaped on the citizens here.
Word?
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.
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
😱😱😱😱😱😱
well well well
Now do their kids.
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.
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?
Colour me completely unsurprised.
Canada’s kinda at the bleeding edge of human rights and freedoms, so this is to be expected.
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?
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.
Immigrants and boomers (my own Father included)
Stats canada with breaking news
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.
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
Nooo waaayyyyyyyyyy.
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….
There are more pressing issues
Another indicator (at least in Ottawa) is the large increase in Catholic school enrolment (students don’t need to be Catholic to enrol).
Meanwhile, public school enrolment numbers continue to drop. The main argument is that new immigrants are filtering sex education (and other progressive themes) exposure in public schools via the Catholic school board.
Even though they are non-Catholic, Catholic schools are more aligned with their beliefs than the public school board.
Of course the number of enrolments to Catholic schools also includes non-Catholic Canadian born parents who don’t want their children in the public school board due to progressive themes that are introduced in the public school board. But a large chunk includes new immigrants.
It’s not surprising as many other countries make it illegal to be part of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community, sometimes punishable by prison or death. Many religions forbid it. There really should be a course that people are required to take when immigrating here, including things like human rights (particularly for women and children) and things like putting your child in a car seat.
Yes I remember seeing an anti LGTBQ protest where Christians, Catholics and Muslims were temporarily united in brigading the LGTBQ community and trans people in general.
Amazing what hate can do eh?
>The survey found that 80 per cent of women and 71 per cent of men born in Canada agreed that individuals should be able to express their gender however they choose, compared to 70 per cent of women and 67 per cent of men born elsewhere.
>The percentage of women who agreed that people should have this right decreased from 85 per cent to 77 per cent, while support among men dropped from 78 per cent to 70 per cent.
The difference between the views of Canadians and Immigrants isn’t terribly massive, meanwhile the real story is how Conservative rhetoric has been pushing trans hate fueling the decrease in how people in Canada view queer people.
>The StatCan survey doesn’t examine the potential causes behind the decline, but notes that the changes in attitude coincide with “a period of animated public discourse” surrounding the rights of transgender and non-binary people.
>In 2023, Saskatchewan passed legislation requiring parental consent for students to use their affirmed names or pronouns at school instead of those assigned at birth. In 2025, Alberta used the notwithstanding clause to prevent transgender girls from participating in female sports and prohibit doctors from prescribing puberty blockers and hormone therapy for those under 16.
Conservative provinces passing anti-queer legislation.
>StatCan also notes “an increasingly vocal public discourse which aims to legitimize transphobic perspectives has been observed by some” in the years since 2018.
Pierre Poillievre and other Conservatives using anti-trans dog whistles, or just straight up pretending he’s never heard of trans people before.
>At the same time, 2024 data from StatCan showed that hate crimes targeting gender identity or expression increased for the fourth consecutive year. These types of crimes almost tripled, rising 184 per cent between 2020 and 2024.
Oh wow, more hate crimes coinciding with the rise in Conservative focus on hating queer people, what a shocker.
TLDR: Conservatives hate queer people, pass anti-queer legislation, and spread anti-queer rhetoric, but let’s talk about immigrants.
Contrary to popular belief. The countries of west are the most accepting and anti-racist places to live even tho they try to convince you that its the opposite
The good news is their kids usually don’t inherit their mindset
I don’t like that I *know* anytime it’s a nationalpost headline before I’m done reading half the sentence.
Fully believable. They (really their kids) will be assimilated.
But how do 2nd and 3rd generation immigrants poll on these issues?
I’ve always viewed Canada as a far more liberal country than the rest of the world. I can’t tell you why that is. Maybe part of it has to due with our neighbor down south at times? I don’t know.
No the article says immigrants support just about the same as Canadian-born men. But that makes for a boring headline.
Canadian-born women show greater support but somehow this title is about immigrants being a problem.
I am an immigrant myself (14-15 y/o at that time), my view is simply respect other’s freedoms and don’t inconvenience others, how hard can it be?
