For example, considering the high profile of Muslim refugees in Canadian media (albeit Non-Muslim refugees also play a larger role in Canadian media), 40 per cent felt the right number of refugees was being admitted and 30 per cent thought that figure was too high - in other words, 70% think that Canada shouldn't accept more refugees in the Islamophobic climate.
Canada took in less refugees than Israel and Australia in 2016 on a per capita basis, similar levels to the conservative's migration policy adopted in the UK:

Canada took in less refugees in 2016 than Australia and Israel, on par with the conservative policy perused in the UK. But the opinion poll statistics tell the main story; 70% of Canadians do not think Canada should accept for migrants, with similar opinion polls appearing in the UK and the rest of Europe.
I notice similar trends with opinion polls on related topics. I've yet to see opinion polls from Canada/Europe where the "supportive" demographics aren't just showing a large percentage voting for "don't know" (meaning that there less supporting the Islamophobic option, but it still doesn't equate to a large percentage supporting the pro-Muslim option).
This matters a lot when it comes to certain demographics such as the youth or minority groups. Despite UK media going full speed to suggest that the youth were left-wing, they were mainly right-wing on issues like race relations and the migrants. It's also still less than 50% supporting the left-wing right now. I also notice that very few media outlets have covered race relations in the West properly without biasing in favor of the left-wing, literally no news outlet has picked up the raging tensions between locally-born Hindus and Muslims.
