I confess: the necessary debate on immigration inspires me with a mixture of joy and annoyance.
Joy first: this debate is essential.
Mass immigration is destabilizing our society – and Western societies in general.
It puts untenable pressure on social services, schools, the health system, in addition to creating a housing crisis. Massive immigration impoverishes us.
And this without even mentioning the fact that it contributes to the demographic minoritization of the historic French-speaking majority in Quebec.
And this without mentioning the fact that it represents, in our specific case, an instrument of the Canadian regime to place a demographic lock on the political future of Quebec. It was time for this debate to take place, it was time for us to speak frankly.
- Listen to the interview with Alexis Brunelle-Duceppe, Bloc Québécois MP for Lac-Saint-Jea on Mathieu Bock-Côté’s show via QUB :
Healthy awareness!
Then annoyance. Many of those who are opening their eyes at the moment have allowed themselves for years to insult those who spoke about immigration.
Today, they are being very clear-headed, but just a few months ago, they only had one word on their lips: racist! In a pinch, they could also say “intolerant”, “xenophobic”, or “closed”.
Today, they would like us to forget their intolerance of yesterday, their blindness too.
We can guess their answer: circumstances force us to do so. This is the situation that would have evolved.
Lamentable pirouette. They should apologize.
Lesson
And we should collectively learn a lesson from this: those who profess diversity morality would like us to forget that they have led us to catastrophe.
Having said that, let’s not be bad players: as long as these last-minute supporters of migratory lucidity mend their ways, or less, put away their insults forever, it is good for our society to pull its head out of the sand.
It is a shame that we had to go to the edge of the abyss to realize this.
