Half of Quebecers want to prevent illegal crossing at Canada-U.S. border: new poll
CBC.ca ^ | August 14, 2017

About half of Quebecers surveyed in a new poll say they'd be in favour of preventing migrants from crossing illegally at the Canada–U.S. border.

The numbers, gathered this week in a poll commissioned by SOM-Cogeco Nouvelles, show that 51 per cent of respondents were in favour of blocking direct access at the border.

The results indicate that younger people, university-educated people and those living in the Montreal area were less likely to agree with the idea of tighter controls at the border.

Meanwhile, 56 per cent of all people polled said they don't believe it's acceptable that migrants bypassing normal immigration procedures be treated as a priority.

Of those surveyed, 39 per cent said they feel that the large influx of migrants will make Quebec less safe.

Checked wikipedia...looks like Trudeau's Party got far more seats than any other in Quebec.I'm not sure if that means he “won” Quebec.If it's a question of which “candidate” gets the most votes among those elected to Parliament it would mean that he won it.

Fifty percent *say* they are against illegal crossings. Another 20% are against them but are afraid to say so to a pollster.

Another shining example of elected leaders completely ignoring the will of the people.

Dear Canada, please build a wall on our northern border! Maybe our selfish, greedy politicians would then understand the concept.

French-Canadian runs deep.
I don’ think your average illegal is going to be long term welcomed.

Well, Quebec City has its own wall, and no one complains about that. Looks like the Quebecois know all about walls.

The only way that Quebecers can defend their own turf .... oh, yeah, i forgot! It’s CANADA!! The gun laws of the nanny state work there!

Oh well, baseball bats work, i guess.

Canada has a parliamentary system of government. The party that has the majority of seats (think House of Representatives) forms the government.

There are 78 federal ridings (seats) in Quebec. Trudeau's party won 40 of them with the rest going to the other parties.

People in Quebec are just as dumb as the rest of North America. They voted for a pretty boy with great hair. They ended up with a dilettante who is in way over his head. The next election should settle his hash.

Interesting fact: In the 2011 election the liberals won 4 seats out of 91 west of the Manitoba border.

Sorry, that’s 4 seats west of Ontario, just to be clear.
