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.

Background:

Based on this poll https://acs-metropolis.ca/studies/negative-sentiment-towards-immigrants-in-canada-is-on-the-rise/

Has an n of 1612. 50% admit not having a good understanding of immigration policy.

I have nothing to defend or of which to be the victim?

I'm not a fan of the NP or the Globe, but I still read the news. Sometimes I'm disappointed with the CBC. I like seeing other ideas, though. I like seeing how the news can spin and slant things. It is part of my work.

I didn't mean to come off as a c-nt and make you waste you time with this long response.

I have nothing to defend or of which to be the victim?

Hence why I asked "Do you routinely get this defensive and play victim when asked simple questions?" in response to you feeling "judged" and "like you are on reddit" after being asked why you support something you don't like.

If you have negative feelings about someone asking you a question about yourself it is likely time for some self reflection. It is okay not to have answers to questions about yourself, but feeling attacked by those questions when you do not have an answer is not a healthy response.
