Die Massenmigrationskatastrophe wird Trudeaus Vermächtnis sein

Canadians who don’t adhere to Justin Trudeau’s woke globalist ideology breathed a sigh of relief on Monday when he finally announced his imminent retirement from politics.

But that is no reason to celebrate. He destroyed Canada on every possible level with his lunatic far-Left policies.

His Liberal Party used to be a pragmatic centre-Left party. Trudeau threw this overboard with a decade of massive spending, deficits, low growth, inflation and a doubling of our national debt; relentless interventionism; the creation of new unsustainable social programs; and no increase whatsoever in our standard of living during this whole period.

He divided Canadians into a disparate collection of ethnic tribes by adopting the most aggressive “post-national” multiculturalist policies of any Western country, and imposing damaging DEI policies.

But his most enduring legacy will likely be his disastrous mass immigration policy.

For a few decades until Trudeau was elected in 2015, Canada welcomed on average 250,000 immigrants every year, on the basis of a relatively well-functioning point system that emphasised work and language skills.

One could argue that this was too much for a country of barely 30 to 35 million inhabitants at the time. Integration problems were already starting to become evident. But demographic and social changes were slow enough to prevent any outright, organised opposition.

As soon as the Liberals were elected in 2015, though, they started to gradually ramp up the numbers, to a point where they were planning to welcome half a million permanent residents this year, before suddenly changing course due to a growing backlash.

They also opened the doors wide to temporary residents – foreign workers, students, and asylum seekers, most of whom were expecting to get permanent residency after a few years – after 2022, following the pandemic. So many took advantage of this opportunity that, in 2023, Canada’s population increased by almost 1.3 million people, or 3.2 per cent, and skyrocketed beyond 41 million.

It took some time for Canadians to feel the impact of this tsunami and open their eyes to the situation. In 2018, when I launched my new party and started denouncing “mass immigration” and the accompanying “cult of diversity” (two expressions that were considered beyond the pale at the time), I was universally smeared as a racist and a xenophobe by other politicians and in the mainstream press.

It was only five years later, after housing had become completely unaffordable, and it had become evident that cheap labour could not solve our labour shortages problems, that conventional economists and the mainstream press found it politically correct to start raising doubts about the policy.

And then all of a sudden the other taboos were discarded, and a real debate started about “foreign students” at supposed “colleges”, sketchy schemes by companies to bring in cheap foreign labour, illegal migrants abusing the asylum system, and so on.

The tide has turned for good, and today, many Canadians want not only an end to mass immigration, but the deportation of all those who should never have come here.

This is where Canada stands as Trudeau prepares to leave the scene and leaves it to his or her successor to pick up the pieces. It won’t be easy to put them back together.

It should be the structural deficit and unfunded programs that will need to be cancelled.

In 2023 alone, Canada’s population increased by around 1.27 million people, mostly through mass immigration, while in that same year, the total housing units built were less than one fifth of that number (around 0.24 million units of all types combined). That is INSANE.

No good in decades has ever come of extreme unchecked immigration for any host country

No it won’t – it’ll be legalising weed. Either that or not cracking down on multi-home owners. Then again, if Poilievre is elected he’ll probably do worse on that and take the blame in history for it.

how’s the weather in Moscow?

Quel temps fait-il à Moscow?

**Canada’s worse ever housing crisis** and the mass migration disaster will be Trudeau’s legacy. He will go down as the worst Prime Minister in Canadian history.
