Unconfirmed locations
TBA also lists a number of unconfirmed protest locations.
Take Back Canada describes the protests as non-partisan and welcoming “Canadians from all political backgrounds.”
They further call to put a stop to “uncontrolled immigration.”
“We are not anti-immigration but oppose the reckless policies that depress wages, raise the cost of living, create job scarcity, and compromise safety, especially for women. These policies strain our healthcare and social services without benefiting Canadians in the long run,” their website reads.
“On July 1st, we will protest this irresponsible mass immigration. We welcome peace-loving immigrants who came here fairly, embracing Canadian values and contributing positively to our society.”
According to polling data from Abacus Data on how Canadians rate the most pressing concerns facing the country, 26% of Canadians now list immigration as one of their top three issues.
