Majority of Quebecers opposed to more immigration: poll (55% in Quebec take Trump position)

A VERY interesting poll. Quebec has long been the most liberal province, but I would argue that it may not be these days. It may be from overpolling outside of Greater Montreal (the city itself is downright socialist, but so are Toronto and Vancouver these days), but that has to be a warning for the elites in Canada.

Faire d'un Quebecoise grandeur encore?

Quebec City is on my list of places to visit.

[Lurkinanloomin]

Are they Islamophobes or just generally racists?

[SouthernerFromTheNorth]

It’s a great city to visit. Even though it is 95% French-speaking, it feels much more welcoming than Montreal (or any of the other “biggest” cities).

Bur they’re frogs!

I wish I’d known enough to make it to Quebec City when I visited Montreal various times.

I actually did not find Montreal unwelcoming in any way.

Our little brother nation, who we have insulated from the angst of the world for several centuries, allowing them to play about carefree, is now having to deal with adult problems on their own. Hopefully they will keep in mind their big brother’s security is as important as their own.

Before the 60’s revolution, Quebec was probably the most conservative.

[SouthernerFromTheNorth]

I know Toronto and Vancouver have the strongest globalist, pro-refugee, pro-illegal stance these days.

[Chainmail]

Wonderful place to visit, friendly people, great food.

Can’t blame them at all for blocking American Democrats from streaming accross the border.

[butlerweave]

so Liberal leader Justin Trudeau’s Papineau riding in Montreal should stop electing him

[SouthernerFromTheNorth]

That is a part of Montreal that is globalist and socialist though. It’s like 20% Islamic in that riding too.

Well it’s Flaming Liberal there

[TXBlair]

Sorry, Hollywood Never Trumpers, even Quebec doesn’t want you.

Try Tehran.

[bigbob]

I was wondering if they consider English-speakers to be illegal immigrants?

[JPJones]

“A majority of Quebecers oppose the idea of welcoming more immigrants to Canada,”

They were probably thinking of Americans.

[Gay State Conservative]

I think they main concern is language.There are jihadis from North Africa whose mother tongue is French.

[goldstategop]

Quebec is 80% Francophone and people want to preserve the French language and culture.

Few people in the province welcome a situation where immigrants pick English over French.

And French is the sole official language.

______________

actually they are pretty militant against English.

Can you think of another place where the rest of the country speaks one language and this province speaks only another, only about 30% of the population speaks English. They worked hard to remain ignorant and provincial
