![]() Wokeness in turn helps shut down debate over immigration.Ĭanada is a sterling example of how cultural leftism meshes with the expansionist ethos of global capitalism. Père Pierre has passed his worldview down to his son Justin, who gushed to a New York Times reporter upon attaining office in 2015 that Canada has “no core identity, no mainstream.” This boast, that the country is post-national and therefore more modern and morally superior to others, is rooted in the same cultural left set of beliefs (“majorities bad, minorities good”) that has given rise to speech policing and reverse discrimination, the hallmarks of woke. Any questioning of immigration is viewed as offensive to minorities, hence out of bounds. Its 1988 successor, created an official duty to “promote the understanding that multiculturalism is a fundamental characteristic of the Canadian heritage and identity”, and the new 1982 constitution allowed for naked racial discrimination in hiring and criminal sentencing. Pierre Trudeau, Justin’s father, ushered in more liberal immigration and the country’s disastrous 1971 Multiculturalism Act. The vacuum was filled with 1960s vintage left-liberalism, with Canada reinvented as a kinder, gentler United States. British loyalism had been the country’s dominant ideology and raison d’etre since the American Revolution, but lay in ruins. This has its origins in Canada losing its identity with the death of the British Empire in the 1950s and 60s. With just one housing start for every four people entering the workforce and rents and house prices soaring, especially in metropolitan areas, even liberal Canadians have had enough.Ĭanada’s elite suffers from a syndrome known as “Canada’s pro-immigration consensus”. After Trudeau announced record-breaking immigration targets, surveys showed 67 percent of Canadians opposed. But he is also alive to the sword of “racism” that the progressive media holds over the neck of any Canadian politician who dares to question mass migration. This is partly because he is a neoliberal who cares about little beyond economics. Yet these policies are endorsed not only by the Left-wing coalition government of Justin Trudeau but by the so-called “populist” conservative leader Pierre Poilievre, who only speaks about building homes, not reducing immigration. To put this number into scale, it’s larger than the population of most Canadian cities and 8 of the country’s 13 provinces and territories. More than that, the immense pressure of the 1.2 million new residents the country added in 2023 is driving the cost of housing through the roof. They say the country has entered a “population trap” in which savings are sucked into providing infrastructure and capital for new arrivals, impairing economic growth. You know things have gone crazy when even economists at the National Bank of Canada are sounding the alarm. There, taboo-driven mass immigration is not only resulting in cultural tensions but in economic paralysis and soaring housing costs. When wokeness, the making sacred of historically-disadvantaged minorities, takes control of a society like Canada, the effects go far beyond plans to stock tampons in men’s bathrooms.
