I think you raise an excellent point. What we really need is a rational discussion about immigration objectives and policies. Most Canadians likely wouldn't participate in one of these protests on either side. Whatever the intent of the various participants, these protests generate the impression that a rational discussion on immigration can't take place, which in fact serves the interests of those who don't want a public debate to occur. It would be fascinating to see polling about the views Canadians hold about immigration policy. When Trudeau's government was first elected it put out feelers about dramatically increasing intake numbers but pulled back in the face of polling that indicated overwhelming public opposition to the idea. I think most Canadians are fair-minded and level-headed enough to have a rational debate about immigration and it would be healthy for our democracy were such a debate to occur.
