According to a new poll by the Angus Reid Institute, over 70 per cent of Canadians do not support the federal government’s decision to admit more than 25,000 Syrian refugees.<\/a> The report adds that two in five respondents feel Canada should stop taking in refugees immediately.<\/p>\n

\"Majority<\/p>\n

\u00a0Recently the government met its target of 25,000 Syrian refugees.<\/p>\n

The Angus Reid Institute poll received responses from over 1,500 Canadians who are members of the Angus Reid Forum. Despite the wishes of a majority of Canadians, Immigration Minister John McCallum recently stated the Liberals would exceed the original commitment and settle between 35,000 and 50,000 Syrian refugees by the end of 2016.<\/p>\n

A wave of racially motivated anti-refugee incidents has taken place across the country. A Calgary school was vandalized with the message \u201cSyrians Go Home and Die\u201d, while a group of Syrian refugees was pepper sprayed in Vancouver last month.<\/p>\n

Despite the Liberals\u2019 stated commitment for 2016, this is the first Angus Reid Institute poll that suggests a majority of Canadians do not support its continued refugee resettlement plan.<\/p>\n
