Naheed Nenshi and Public Opinion

racist nature: Public opinion might seem polarized by the loud voices expressing concern, according to Hamilton Spectator. Even Calgary Mayor Naheed Nenshi said he was "shaken" by the closed-minded and even racist nature of some of the debate about the refugees. They may reach 50,000 over the next year, the largest resettlement initiative since the so-called boat people from Southeast Asia. Many of us had similar feelings. Nenshi went on to say: "As I go out and about, I'd say eight out of 10 comments I get about refugees is: How can I help " The eagerness to help is evident from almost every segment and sector of society. But there has also been the refreshing outpouring of generosity and national hospitality. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
