A CTV/Globe and Mail/Ipsos-Reid poll has found Canadians think the Liberal government of Paul Martin responded appropriately to the tsunami disaster.

But when it comes to opening the doors to tsunami victims to immigrate, that's a different matter.

An excerpt:

When asked whether the federal proposal to fast-track immigrants was a good one, 52 per cent of respondents said, "the government should allow only those with family sponsors a fast-tracked opportunity to come to Canada."

Just ten per cent fewer, or 48 per cent, said "a much larger group of people from the region should be allowed to immigrate to Canada on humanitarian grounds regardless of whether or not they have family sponsorship."

The story also found that about 20 per cent of Canadians are "overwhelmed" by the disaster, that they are following the story closely, and that two-thirds of them have donated.
