A political billboard along a busy Halifax highway warning Canadians to “say NO to mass immigration” is being condemned by Premier Stephen McNeil and MP Andy Fillmore.
The billboard, which appeared this week in cities including Vancouver, Calgary, Halifax, Toronto and Regina, bears Maxime Bernier’s face and the logo of his People’s Party of Canada along with the word “VOTE.”
The sign sparked criticism on Twitter, and the Liberal premier added his voice to the opposition, tweeting:
“As premier, I welcome everyone to Nova Scotia – but I don’t welcome this negative, divisive tone. Our population is at an all-time high, unemployment is at a record low and our economy is growing, in large part thanks to immigration. That’s fact, not opinion.”
