Hello. Today, June 23, is commemorated as National Day of Remembrance for Victims of Terrorism. How many Canadians know why? The answer, very sadly, is very few. But I'm going to make a thread about this that I hope will be informative ... I invite you to follow along. #airindia Last year, I mused out loud in this op-ed for @ottawacitizen about how many Canadians would know why June 23 is important in our history....ottawacitizen.com/opinion/column…

Hi. This is the National Day of Remembrance of Victims of Terrorism. I must remember next year to poll on what Canadians think originated this day.

A thread ... I invite you to follow along. If I was guessing, I'd guess significant numbers of people in this country think the worst incident of terrorism perpetrated on Canadian citizens was 9/11. Others might think of the Nova Scotia shootings, the attack on Parliament Hill, or something else.

I know many hearts and minds across our country have been focused on the tragedy unfolding in Nova Scotia. We stand together with the people of that province in their time of grief.

In other words, when we asked ppl where they *think* most of our newcomers are arriving from, 64% said the Middle East. But Middle Eastern/North African countries represented only 12% of actual immigration in recent years: #elxn43 Image Here's another big misconception: as a nation, we significantly overestimate the number of refugees coming into the country, and underestimate the number of economic class (skilled worker) immigrants: #elxn43 Image
