Right Path: Email Inbox and Anti-Immigrant Rhetoric

right path: The survey also suggested more Canadians actually take a tougher line than Americans when it comes to believing that minority groups should assimilate or "try to change" once they arrive in their new country, according to Hamilton Spectator. Worse, that view seems to have hardened over the last two decades, according to the pollsters. For days my email inbox was flooded with angry, anti-immigrant rhetoric from readers who believe Leitch, who is seeking the federal Conservative leadership, is on the right path with her call for tighter screening to weed out potential newcomers and refugees found to hold "anti-Canadian values." The emails arrived at the same time as the release of a new poll by the Angus Reid Institute conducted for the CBC that found 68 per cent of those surveyed want to see minorities doing more to "fit in" to mainstream society. Taken together with polls earlier this year that indicate nearly half of Canadians opposed Ottawa plan to accept 25,000 Syrian refugees, the latest poll and the emails to me make it clear that Canada is not as warm to and accepting of immigrants as many would like to believe. And regrettably, some politicians like Leitch are trying to exploit that backlash for their own political gains. Indeed, a backlash against more immigration appears to be spreading — and especially against refugees from war-torn areas such as Syria and other Muslim-dominant countries.
