Canada takes even more immigrants relative
to its population than the U.S. but its elite has long been as
complacently confident that the immigration issue could be kept out of
politics as the U.S. elite was before Trump. (Canada has the added
advantage of shockingly repressive Hate Speech laws, although the U.S.
elite and the Tech Totalitarians are working on that).
But two recent events have disturbed that complacency: Maxime Bernier, a
federal Member of Parliament and prominent former candidate for the
federal Conservative Party leadership, began an extremely aggressive
Trump-type Twitter campaign denouncing multiculturalism and the
diversity cult and has used it to launch a new federal party. And in the
run-up to the October 1 Quebec provincial election, François Legault’s
Coalition Avenir Québec has cracked Canada’s elite consensus by
proposing a (very modest) 20% decrease in immigration. (See "Quebec
election: No place to go for anglophones")
