In a recent report conducted by Leger and the National Post, 70% of Gen Z and Millennial respondents agreed that immigrants coming to Canada should be screened for "sharing common Canadian values". What is even more interesting is that Statistics Canada also wrote a report showcasing the difference between Canadian-born and immigrants, and how they perceive these Canadian values. 

Hostion and Andrea unpack why this question is up for debate and examine the reality of most immigrants who come to Canada. Human rights, gender equality and Indigenous respect are all core tenants that immigrants hold. And according to the data, they hold these values the highest among other surveyed groups. 

We hold these values very close, because we know that they are not guaranteed. We don't need to screen immigrants. What we do need to do is to cease separating ourselves, come together and realize that we actually honestly share the same values - that is what it is to be Canadian.
