Richard Martineau asked me a question the other day that never leaves me.
I’m not a conspiracy theorist, Richard began, but could it be that…
What could be?
Plan
That the official immigration targets of the Trudeau government, which are delusional, coupled with the abandonment of all or almost all control over who enters Canada, have a precise objective, totally assumed, obviously not formulated: the minoritization of French-speaking Quebec, its programmed marginalization until it becomes a simple curiosity.
It would, after all, be the completion of the project of Trudeau senior, for whom the French-speaking difference brought intolerance and authoritarianism, and had to be fought.
Is it so crazy to think that the son wants, with the tools and rhetoric of his time, to finish the father’s job? No.
Let’s look at the facts.
Trudeau senior saw Quebec nationalism as a retrograde and dangerous tribalism.
- Listen to Joseph Facal’s column via QUB :
The adoption of a charter of rights and freedoms giving maximum force to individual rights was its main tool against Quebec.
A single person, just one, could henceforth go to court to invalidate, under the pretext that their individual rights were violated, a Quebec law aimed at affirming a collective right, such as that of a people to take measures to protect their identify.
To this barrier, Trudeau’s son today adds an additional, powerfully structuring measure: the demographic flood.
First take the official immigration volumes forecast for the next three years: 1.5 million people.
Canadian bank economists all say this is unsustainable.
Where to accommodate them in the current context?
How can we care for them, how can we adequately educate their children when these services are already bursting at the seams everywhere?

You won’t find a serious study, not one, that thinks this is manageable, nor that it is the primary solution to labor shortages (cyclical and localized) or aging.
But these official figures do not take into account fake students, fake refugees, fake tourists, fake temporary workers.
Trudeau had been warned by his own officials not to move forward. Yet he did it. Against all odds.
It is pathetic, these days, to read the embarrassed comments of those who, until very recently, were the apostles of always more and harmonious living together.
Destination
Which brings us back to Richard’s question: why this stubbornness from Trudeau?
To realize his fantasy of a “post-national” state? Yes, perhaps he sees himself as the leader of a large-scale scientific experiment unprecedented in the West.
But when we see his rejection of all of Quebec’s demands, even though they are perfectly moderate and reasonable, we cannot help but think that he has a particular grudge against him.
No need to look far to find out where it comes from.
The difference with the father is that the latter did not hide his contempt. The son smiles and says wind.
But the final destination is the same.
