We can never say it enough. Far from being closed, Quebec is one of the societies on the planet that receives the most immigrants, more per person than France, more than the United States.

It must be done for a nation that is not independent, on a continent where French speakers represent less than 2% of the population.
Our society is presented as intolerant because it does not want to dissolve into a limitless multicultural national project which can only lead to its downfall.
100 million inhabitants!
Quebec’s problem is not that it does not receive enough immigrants, but that it is part of a country that receives many more than it does.
Canada has sunk into a literally delirious multiculturalism, a pretentious ideology unique in the world, the country aiming to receive no less than 500,000 immigrants per year.
Half a million annually! It should be noted that this figure does not respond above all to economic imperatives linked to the shortage of labour, the solution of which only partially involves immigration.
What we are dealing with instead is a new Canadian national project whose dream is to reach the marvelous figure of 100 million inhabitants, without any consideration for what this will mean for THE Canadian founding people on the historical plan and its French-speaking descendants whose assimilation can only be encouraged.
This is the fundamental problem of Quebec! And it’s a lot more serious than the family reunification of immigrants.
This does not prevent some commentators from lamenting that the Quebec nationalism of the 1960s moved away from its original angelic purity to develop certain necessary defensive aspects, clearly moderated in a historical and world perspective.
Temporary residents
We feared for a moment that the melodramatic outing of François Legault on the possible Louisianization of Quebec would make us forget these things, but the Prime Minister was lucky: his warning led many to face the reality in terms of ‘immigration.
This reality is that Quebec has lost control of newcomers to its territory, a growing number of whom pass through indirect channels, including the now larger than normal channel of temporary residence.
Without forgetting this shameful institutionalized Roxham Road, an aberration for any self-respecting country and a total lack of respect for the Quebec people.
Not to mention those foreign French-speaking students who are not accepted by Ottawa because they are not attached to these networks which work in favor of English-speaking students.
We must hope that between two celebrations of all diversities except Quebec, we will be able to take a cold and effective interest in this vital file.
Without taking into account these defeatists who have become veritable sowers of despair, irremediably convinced that nothing can stop the decline of our language, that Ottawa will always say no to everything, that the very existence of a strong Quebec government has no impact .
There would be nothing to do except a sovereignty that is at the very least improbable in the foreseeable future, when we again feel in some people the taste for deluding themselves on this subject.
They have become viscerally incapable of envisaging any concrete victorious exercise of Quebec power outside of the sovereigntist hypothesis.
One of the priorities of the government to be elected in October should be the modernization of the 1991 Canada-Quebec accord on immigration, a historic step forward at the time that had become partially outdated.
Rather than stupidly blasting Justin Trudeau, we must remind him of his responsibility, as Prime Minister of Canada, with regard to this distinct Quebec society and Canadian founding nation, which federal immigration policy must take into account.
The “six months” of Simon Jolin-Barrette
Thank you to the Minister for having resisted the lamentations of mourners of all kinds sympathetic to these “poor” immigrants having the misfortune to arrive in one of the most tolerant and pampered societies on the planet.
It is a service to be rendered to notoriously resilient immigrants around the world to give them the facts as soon as they arrive here, when the Quebec message is most likely to have an effect, by making it clear that accelerated learning of French is not a wish, but an essential condition of the privilege they have of settling in Quebec.
Immigrants are not asked to recite Baudelaire in the text after six months, but to make a real effort to communicate in French after this period with the public administration, barring exceptions, linked to common sense and the principles of justice. natural resources mentioned in Law 96.
We are in Quebec.
Who seriously believes that a newcomer who has made a real effort to learn our language will be refused services because his French is deficient?
