Should sanctuary cities receive federal funding?

end the war on drugs

Yes, but not because they are sanctuary cities. They should receive the federal funding due to them for simply being a city in Canada.

They should receive less funding for harboring ILLEGAL immigrants, but it should not be cut entirely, as larger problems will arise.

This seems like a very US based question. The division of powers should guide law enforcement and conflicts between jurisdictions or levels of government or departments should not impact funding at the municipal, provincial, or federal level.

No. People in sanctuary cities should be put to work to make the cities function. This will help the people to assimilate to the Canadian culture and it's not burdening the economy.

Yes but to a provincial level as it’s up to the province wether or not they are a sanctuary city and they should find there own funding

Sanctuary cities create a unique environment of lawlessness and poverty which can be dangerous/worse for undocumented individuals.

No. Those cities should use the people for some jobs to maintain those cities. Start assimilating them in to the culture sooner than later.

The question of whether sanctuary cities should receive federal funding is a matter of ongoing debate. Some argue that withholding funds punishes local communities, while others believe it is a way to enforce immigration policies. It's like discussing whether a school that follows different rules should still receive support. The decision often reflects broader perspectives on immigration policies and the relationship between local and federal authorities.

I believe that they should re-implement the rule that requires immigrants to bring a skill to the country instead of just showing up an having everything handed to them.

Somewhat yes but the people should find a way to get a job and pay for their own things after a whil

If they need protection and safety then yes, but if they want to live here forever then they should do the paperwork eventually.

Yes anyone fleeing danger from their own country can find Canada as a haven but if you want to live here for life then start the paperwork.

Yes, but only to provide vetting on individuals who may be in the country for nefarious reasons, not to find a better life.

Give them federal funding for there situations and try to regulate it and to help them become more people of society

Yes, but to a certain point, where it is enough to do further research on the indivieul's past to encore any of their records interme of criminal offenses.

No. We should ban Sanctuary Cities, and Municipalities are under Provincial jurisdiction - the Federal government should not be infringing on Provincial matters.

Depending on the situation of an individual, there may be circumstances where they must live undocumented. So funding should be the same throughout each city.

There should not be sanctuary cities. We wouldn't need them if the government would slow down on letting so many people into the Canada.

I believe that sanctuary cities should receive federal funding so long as the immigrants are not permanently residing there, it should be somewhere to live temporarily while the find jobs and a place to live

yes but more so, they should have the right to create fund raising opportunities to sustain their necessities and empower their members.

No. Instead, sanctuary cities should only be used for immigrants transitioning to become Canadian citizens and housing refugees in times of emergency. They should be given basic needs such as; access to housing, integration into Canadian way of life, and education. As such, they should receive funding from the provincial government. The federal government may only intervene in certain cases and if necessary, action to enforce immigration law.

i literally dont understand almost all these questions that have to do with immigration and such, i dont tend to pay to much attention to those subjects and its not talked about in my house hold.

Dont have a stance

No, but let them keep doing what they do.

We should find out why they are here before sending deciding to send them back.

Sanctuary zones should be private and taxed.

as far as I am aware....not relevant in Canada

Don’t n ow enough on this subject to answer honestly

We should not be responsible for refugees

No, but they should be allowed to exist

Yes, but the people living in these sanctuaries should have access to make themselves a documented individual.

Yes but not a large amount

No, the idea and definition of a sanctuary city is complicated and used mostly just to deflect from the actual issue.

Yes, but not as much as other cities

I do not believe we need sanctuary cities, they are divisive and hurt communities

It depends if this city is struggling with propertie damage on building manufactures like flooding,fires...etc

I’m on the fence in this one

Yes, but they shouldn't need to exist

Sanctuary cities shouldn't even exist

Sanctuary city?

Federal funding should help these individuals get out of sanctuary cities

No, ban sanctuary cities, and distribute immigrants more evenly across the nation.

Yes, but the cities should determine how best to spend it and do their best to control costs.

No federal funding should be given for 'sanctuary cities' however under no circumstances should a undocumented individual be prosecuted if they are seeking refuge in Canada. That said, those who flagrantly ingnor visa rules (ie. working on a tourist visa, over stay their visa expiration date, etc.) should be deported.
