Since people from war-torn nations often flee to Europe where they tend to get all kinds of help and support, I wonder what countries Europeans would/could flee to - and be welcomed by - if there were to be a war engulfing most of Europe?
Any thoughts?
Canadian here, we’ll be there again if you all need us ❤️
Our federal government is making it much harder to immigrate here and many people are being forced to leave the country since they can’t become a permanent resident anymore.
I agree with your sentiment, but our government and the average Canadian is far more anti-immigrant than 10 years ago.
Housing crisis really put a damper on things.
In an asylum scenario definitely can be considered but for migration in general we need to stabilize the housing and cost of living situation before we start inviting people over in my opinion. The population is also skewing more elderly (with immigration there being the only balancing factor) there and here so need go make sure our healthcare system is ready for such a migration without causing any institutional shocks.
It only you had massive amounts of land available
That’s the least important consideration. When people arrive in the country they don’t just get told “here’s some land!” And dumped in an open field to make do. The resources needed for them are houses, jobs, health care, and so forth. We don’t have vast amounts of that lying around unused.
