It's official: Canadians who support increasing immigration levels are in the *extreme* minority.

New polling from @leger360 reveals 65% of Canadians believe there are "too many" immigrants.

Only 3% say "not enough."

THREAD 🧵: Image
Breaking this down by region, age, and gender.... the consensus is strong across the board.

Men and women largely agree, as does every province. Seniors are just slightly more inclined to agree than younger generations. Image
Rural voters are more likely to oppose immigration than urban or suburban voters. Image
.@theJagmeetSingh's @NDP is the only party whose voters don't overwhelmingly think immigration levels are too high.

In contrast, @PierrePoilievre's @CPC_HQ voters are most likely to believe immigration is too high, followed closely by @MaximeBernier's @peoplespca.

It's important to note that the small sample size for PPC voters (just 38) in this poll is almost certainly skewing the results—in reality, the PPC is solidly to the right of the CPC.Image
78% of Canadians agree that ''Current immigration rates are contributing to the housing availability and affordability crisis''

76% agree that ''Current immigration rates are contributing to stresses on health care services''

72% agree that ''Canada's immigration policy is too generous''

a mere 26% agree that ''The Canadian government does a good and thorough job checking the background of immigrants coming to Canada''Image

53% disagree Image

I am increasingly realizing that @CatoInstitute is an existential threat to Western civilization. Image
I don’t think this is a histrionic statement with this wording btw

I’m from Ontario

50 million sub Saharan immigrants is an existential threat to me

Paola Giuliano & Nathan Nunn (@DrNathanNunn) are two superstar econ professors.

Their 2021 paper in @RevEconStudies, now cited over 400 times, can't be replicated.

THREAD 🧵:
Image
Earlier this year, a team of European researchers with @I4Replication published, ''Understanding Cultural Persistence and Change: A Replication of Giuliano and Nunn (2021)''

ideas.repec.org/p/zbw/i4rdps/1…Image
That replication’s conclusion is devastating:

‘‘This replication … identifies major discrepancies between several econometric specifications described in the article and their corresponding code. We are able to correct most of these mistakes by realigning the code with the text. Once corrections are implemented, we obtain almost invariably a smaller and non-significant coefficient for climatic variability.’’

The 2024 British Columbia provincial election just took an explosive turn.

Conservative candidate @Scrase has abruptly resigned after a series of mean tweets surfaced, tweets denouncing kids being exposed to ''pup play'' fetishists at Pride parades.

Thread🧵: Image

Why Canadian Conservatives Lose: A Case Study

Just a few hours ago, @Scrase was "cancelled" by @JasJohalBC , a journalist in Vancouver and former Liberal Member of the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia.

Johal unearthed four (just four!) of Scrase’s old tweets, and despite how thin the substance of this political hitjob was, the hit was remarkably effective. These 4 tweets ended Scrase’s political career.Image

Canada's smallest province, Prince Edward Island, has become the first to push back against mass immigration.

The Indian community in PEI is not taking it very well, threatening ''hunger strikes to the death.''

THREAD 🧵 Image
Prince Edward Island is the most Scottish province, and perhaps the most ethnically Scottish place anywhere in the world outside Scotland. When combined with Irish and Welsh, almost 80% of islanders have some Celtic stock.

Earlier this month, @amconmag published an article in which I refuted @mcuban's crusade to convince the public that companies hiring board members based on ethnicity is a profitable endeavor.

Cuban responded.

Now... will he accept a debate with @realchrisrufo?

This is the article Cuban is responding to:

The Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF), the world’s largest and most prestigious science fair, took place last week.

The winner of the environmental engineering division, which came with a cash prize of $55,000, cheated.

THREAD: 🧵 Image
Exclusive: Scandal at America's Top Science Fair

''Honestly ISEF is probably going to sweep this under the rug unless it comes in the news. Someone needs to send it to CNN or something.''

''Krish Pai, 17, of Del Mar, California, received the second Regeneron Young Scientist Award of $50,000 for his machine-learning research to identify microbial genetic sequences that can be modified to biodegrade plastic. His new software, called Microby, scans databases of microorganisms and determines which ones can be changed genetically to biodegrade plastics. In tests, he identified two microorganisms that can be genetically modified to degrade plastic at a cost he believes would be ten times less than traditional recycling.''
