i just want to clarify that my vote in 2015 was not determined by immigration policy, and my vote in 2019 will not be determined by immigration policy, either. the truth is that i'm somewhere between the two extremes presented by media, but i don't want to get lost in the topic because i consider it a distraction from more pressing issues, like environment and trade policies. in canada, it's an easy out for the government. and, while i might be willing to give them that out in an election, i will not give it to them in the second year of the mandate.
