Immigrants say Canada is taking in too many immigrants. Plus: So long, Denis Coderre?

from The Big Five Podcast · host CJAD 800

Elias Makos is joined by Paul Gott, Lead singer and guitarist for Montreal Punk Rock band the Ripcordz and a journalism professor at Concordia, and Christina Chough, Spanish teacher and Chair of the modern languages department at Dawson College. A new national poll finds that most Canadians, including a majority of immigrants, believe Canada is accepting too many newcomers.  La Presse this morning reports that paramedics in Montreal and Laval are responding to nearly three opioid overdoses per day requiring naloxone, triple the rate from five years ago, amid a growing crisis fueled by increasingly contaminated drugs. Former Montreal mayor and longtime politician Denis Coderre says he's stepping away from politics for good.
