How do you know what the majority of Canadians share? A much more logical and fair assumption would be that, perhaps, half of Canadians would share my view. An even more logical and rational assumption would be that the majority of taxpaying Canadians would share my views on this subject.

I base my opinion on what Canadian's value from polling results such as these:

Seven in 10 Canadians support increasing the number of refugees from Syria, and a majority agree with the idea of airlifting Syrian refugees at Canada’s expense, according to a new poll conducted by Nanos Research for CTV News and The Globe and Mail.

Canadians want more to be done about the refugee crisis and are willing to take in a substantially larger number of refugees than the country is currently admitting, polls suggest.

You mistakenly believe that Conservative values represent those of most Canadians. Thankfully that is not the case.

More than half (54 per cent) of people surveyed by the Angus Reid Institute think the Canadian government should take in more refugees. But that view varied widely by party affiliation:

62 per cent of NDP supporters
62 per cent of Liberal supporters
39 per cent of Conservative supporters

And more than twice as many Tory supporters said they think the migrants are “bogus: criminals or economic opportunists looking to jump the immigration queue for a better life.”
