Immigrants: Nova Scotians

Nova Scotians: Nova Scotians appear to be very positive about newcomers from other parts of Canada but somewhat less welcoming to immigrants, says the report, which came out of a commission the Acadia University president chaired, according to The Chronicle Herald. The commission, tasked with looking at Nova Scotias economic future, learned about peoples attitudes through survey research and Nova Scotia needs to get its act together when it comes to immigrants, Ray Ivany found. There is a segment of the population that believes that immigrants take away jobs from other Nova Scotians. Rural residents appear to be more concerned than their urban counterparts on this issue.
