Canada

I'm well aware of the Australian housing crisis, and of it's far-right politicians like Dutton. I was also aware that there were other reasons for Trudeau being unpopular besides immigration (hence why it wasn't the sole statistic I provided, I used Trudeau's approval ratings as somewhat of a general metric for Canada turning against left-leaning politicians, and I used the other two statistics to try to show Canada's anti-immigrant attitudes. Without spending exorbitant amounts of time studying Canadian politics this was the quickest summary statistics I choose to look at).

I criticized Canada for having poor attitudes towards immigration, and I would criticize Australia for the same, these two opinions aren't mutually exclusive. Ultimately my personal decision to attempt to immigrate to Australia rather than Canada came down to choosing 'the lesser of two evils' (which as an American I am very practiced in doing. ha. ha.)

Specifically, I thought Australia's further distance from the US would make it safer geopolitically, it's higher foreign-born population would make it so that way 'anti-immigration' sentiment didn't become 'anti-immigrant' sentiment, and it's compulsory voting laws would make it harder for far-right politicians to gain and/or maintain a foothold. I truly did not intend for my personal decision to go to Australia over Canada to be some kind of dig at Canada, though I did get defensive at the dismissive claim that the limited research I have done was just "propaganda getting to me." Apologies if I was a bit aggressive in my critique of Canadian attitudes towards immigration
