text: 6. That huge immigration numbers to Canada (300,000+/year), most heading to one of the 3 major cities, is a good thing and  most Canadians support this.  Sometimes there seems to be an almost frenzied push by media to convince us that this is a great and glorious policy.  No political party of any stripe ever has a meaningful debate about this (haggling over the paltry number of refugees we allow in is not the same thing at all).  And most people I know - of all political stripes, and even relatively new immigrants - think the numbers are way too high. 
  
  Most of us keep mum about this because to read our media, this means that you'll be labelled xenophobic or racist or some other nasty thing.
