Canada is in the process of falling apart because of mass immigration and may not survive the century, says Maxime Bernier, a former Conservative Foreign Affairs Minister and now leader of the People’s Party of Canada. Here’s an excerpt of his piece in the Telegraph.
Our country is experiencing a series of crises because of the deliberate policy of mass immigration instigated by Justin Trudeau’s Liberal Government soon after its election in 2015.
Last year, Canada’s population increased by almost 1.3 million people, or 3.2%. This was the fastest annual population growth rate since the post-war years. The difference however is that this was not caused by a baby boom, since 97% of the growth was due to international migration, mostly from Asia and Africa.
This includes not only immigrants per se – or “permanent residents” – but also so-called temporary foreign workers, foreign students and asylum seekers. Although supposed to be temporary, the last categories have in fact become pathways to seek permanent residency.
Because of this, housing in Canada has now become completely unaffordable. Young couples who want to have children just cannot afford to buy a home with a nice backyard where they can raise them any more, with the result that our birth rate has dropped dramatically.
Our hospitals, social services and infrastructures are being overburdened by this massive demographic tsunami.
Immigration is often justified by its supposed positive impact on the economy. But productivity and wages have been stagnant for a decade in Canada, as cheap immigrant labour is favoured by employers over capital investment and automation. …
If you believe that more diversity is always good and always enriches your society, then it’s logical and inevitable that you will end up importing lots of people with incompatible values and attitudes from around the world, including religious fanatics and even terrorists, who can’t possibly integrate in a country with a European, secular Christian heritage.
That’s what we’ve been doing for years, and that’s why everything that historically made Canada what it was is rapidly being destroyed. I know there has been a similar trend in the U.K. and other European countries, but Canada went way further down this road.
