This post about an immigration protest in Ottawa attracted a lot of dissenters, but the upvote ratio was skewed rather favorably

This post on the LMIASCAMS subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/LMIASCAMS/comments/1pmbfof/mass_immigration_protest_is_planned_for_january/ received a fair amount of hate in the comments from people who think we are white supremacist Nazi fascists. I expected the upvotes to be skewed toward the lower end, however, they were above about 85% positive. It always surprises me to see the wide range of opinions on posts like this because we do have a Canada-wide problem, but there are some that refuse to believe it/see it, and those that can read the writing on the wall. I'd like to think that those leaving comments to that effect are the loud minority (which I believe to be the case) and is usually the case in other respects. i think most of us have a rational, tempered, and reasonable view on the TFW program, immigration and the state of things as a whole. It's a shame that when you try to say "hey, businesses, consultancies, the government, and certain foreigners alike, might be gaming our system a little bit - look at these strange occurrences," you become branded with the "word of the month" so to speak.
I don't find myself leaning heavily one way or the other, but the people that come out and leave comments on posts like this: 1. all sound the same in their rhetoric, and 2. don't seem to think that we have a bit of an immigration problem on our hands.
I don't have a whole lot more to add here, but if you check out the comments, let me know what you think about the discussion as a whole.
