More than half of Canadians think Ottawa isn’t in control of refugee issue in Quebec: Ipsos poll | Globalnews.ca
As the number of refugees crossing the border into Quebec continues to balloon in 2017, a new poll shows that the majority of Canadians are skeptical of the government’s control of the situation.
New numbers released by Quebec’s Immigration Department show that in the first six months of 2017 more people entered made refugee claims in Quebec than in all of 2016.
This surge of asylum seekers has led the country to call in the army to set up camp in Saint-Bernard-de-Lacolle.
But, according to a new Ipsos poll, 62 per cent of respondents don’t think the Trudeau government has a “solid plan” to respond to the influx of refugees.
And 56 per cent of respondents say the fact that Ottawa had to call in the army shows that the issue is “out of control.”
Many Canadians also doubt whether those crossing into Quebec illegally are legitimate refugees. Sixty-seven per cent believe the migrants are trying to skip the legal immigration process.
A slim majority (56 per cent) also believe that the government isn’t doing enough to protect the border, which is the longest land border in the world, from “those who want to cause harm to Canada.”...
