65 per cent of Canadians say Canada is accepting too many legal immigrants. That figure, less than a year ago in February, was just 50 per cent. In March 2019, only 35 per cent of Canadians held that view.

Canadian values seem to have evaporated in the last ten years. I feel like we’re almost unidentifiable when viewed next to Americans in a crowd now. There’s still a few big differences, but politically we’re in near lock step just a few years behind America. At least, that’s the vibe I get speaking with anyone older than 40. Social media has turned Canada into a Kuato-like attachment to America’s hip, except instead of calling the shots we’re just along for the ride as the host begins its descent into a death rattle.
Yes there are alot of things i find similar to how people act here vs the US. We need to bring back our separate identity but we also have to remember they are our neighbors down there. People don’t even talk to their neighbors here anymore. Having said that, these people have been very kind to me and down to earth, i have not seen anything negative about them.
