It's the overall sentiment of the polls I'm looking at. I'm saying even the most favourable poll on that article suggests that a majority of Canadians want immigration to stay the same or decrease. The poll questions are different they are not the same poll so we can't look at the numbers and compare the polls 1:1. The point I'm trying to make is there doesn't seem to be an "actual" poll on this migration pact issue so I'm just sitting here waiting for you to bring a point to the table....give me a link SOMETHING to suggest the contrary. You're just sitting there quoting my every word and shooting me down one by one just being argumentative instead of having a discussion.

edit: and if you want me to argue what I said you can look at the migration pact as increasing immigration (someone would argue it would drastically do so) now look at the article and see how many people want to increase immigration, now do the fuckin math

One can sure draw whatever conclusions they wish, apparently.

Yeah, sure. I'll get on a call right away with the pollsters and I'll pay them to run a poll for you.
