Obélix likes to say: “They are crazy, these Romans!”
We want to say: “They are crazy, these Trudeauists!”
But this time it’s not funny, not funny at all.
Delirium
On Tuesday, Ottawa confirmed the number of immigrants Canada expects to welcome over the next three years.
Madness, pure madness. Figures without common measure with those of other open countries.
There will be 465,000 new arrivals in 2023, 485,000 in 2024 and 500,000 in 2025.
Half a million newcomers per year!
Nearly 1.5 million in three years!
This is twice as many per year as the 240,000 welcomed in 2014. Look at the explosion of recent years.
If you find that in comparison the 50,000 annual immigrants welcomed by Quebec are a derisory figure, you should know that it is already, as a percentage of our population, more than double that of the United States!
To justify itself, Ottawa brings out the worn-out tape of the labor shortage, an argument denied by all serious studies.
With the number of immigrants welcomed in Canada for years, if immigration solved the shortage, we would see it.
Not only do newcomers have profiles that do not correspond to the profiles of vacant jobs, but in addition, as they consume services, they also create labor needs.
And afterwards, the same people who mumble “more, more, more” will grind their guts to deplore the rise of the far right in Europe, which makes its bread and butter with immigration that is much less than here!
Equal to itself, that is to say lamentable, the pitiful Conseil du patronat urges Quebec to do like Ottawa, so that it can obviously pay newcomers less than local workers.
These delusional, demented targets of Ottawa place Quebec in a dilemma.
If it does not keep pace with the federal government, our weight will continue to drop in Canada.
If we follow the federal rhythm, it is the Acadianization, then the assured Louisianization of French. Let’s break out the banjos!
The timid reaction of the Legault government to the federal announcement does not bode well.
If immigration solves neither the labor shortage nor aging (because immigrants also age and arrive when they are already adults), how can the federal obsession be explained?
Precisely by the fact that it is an obsession, a fanatical ideology, which therefore does not require a rational justification.
Justin Trudeau once said that Canada has no identity of its own and aspires to be the world’s first “post-national” state.
For him, Canada is a laboratory experiment. He makes chemical mixtures in test tubes.
That’s what excites him. He asks himself: how far can we go?
Radical
In this sense, strangely, Trudeau is an authentic revolutionary and, like any true revolutionary, he does not give a damn about the concrete consequences on the real world.
Being bigoted and often looking like an idiot are not at all incompatible.
