Most Canadians probably don't want to have free movement of people

[โ€“] timestatic@feddit.org 2 points 4 months ago

They can move and work anywhere in the schengen region. So personal freedom is increased. I guess you mean other people coming from the EU to Canada. I showed you how it could be a benefit for Canadians. They'd have to decide if they want it tho. I doubt Canada would be overrun tho if you're meaning that and it also benefits the economy that might seek workers in other Schengen countries if they don't have enough skilled workers domestically

Only the racist ones that blame all their problems on foreigners maybe. The rest see how free movement only improves the lives of the population.

Maybe you should look up the laws then. Canada's got some of the most anti immigration laws in the world.
