Castanet readers appear to buck the national trend when it comes to attitudes about accepting refugees.

In a poll that garnered 11,490 votes, we asked our readers: Do you support a Donald Trump-style ban on Syrian refugees?

In the 24 hours the poll was live, 8,109 respondents voted Yes.

That more than doubles the 3,381 who voted no.

And it's in stark contrast to a national poll by Angus Reid that found just one in four Canadians would support a Trump-style ban on Syrian refugees coming to Canada.

"As the American travel ban on refugees, visitors and immigrants from seven Muslim-majority countries creates serious foreign policy differences between Canada and the U.S., border communities in Manitoba and Quebec are bearing witness to the fallout, watching asylum seekers trudging through the snow to cross the border," the pollster said.

"Against this backdrop, the latest survey from the Angus Reid Institute finds public opinion in this country is onside with its government’s approach and response on domestic refugee policy, but is showing signs Ottawa may be testing the limits of how many migrants Canadians are willing to accept."
