Thanks, municipalities, by trying to persevere the character of your neighbourhoods, you've managed to destroy the character of Canada.

People are upset about immigrants because of housing. Housing is a problem because cities made it de jure illegal.

I think this is it. The survey points to rational thinking amongst the most severely affected, not a racist aversion.

They (upper class) want it to sound racist though. Immigration plus housing crunch is making people who own property incredibly rich

Ooooof, now that's a spicy conjecture! I don't think this is done consciously by most but it doesn't change the effects. 🀭

I think it's definitely done consciously by politicians though, as the majority of MPs are landlords

But immigrants make a good scapegoat.
