Until government releases the financial facts for taxpayers, all Canadians should be against the policy because of cost: last year 40,000 refugees cost taxpayers over 2 billion dollars in taxpayer funds. Most of them make more than our disabled and minimum wage workers. This would not be the case if we supported them near their homeland. If 100,000 come, we are in for 5 billion a year. The net financial loss of new immigrants is already over 25 billion dollars. So when Canadians ask - where are my taxes going, this government should be answering.

The other aspect not explored by the authors  is that Angus Reid only conducted a small sample, it is not random, and is more likely to get foreign born when polling in Ontario so the real opinion is unknown and may be much higher against. Have a referendum and lets find out.
