Bernier's People's Party of Canada promises drastic cuts to immigration

Maxime Bernier, leader of the fledgling People's Party of Canada, yesterday called Islamism or "political Islam" a threat to Canada's values and way of life. Introducing his party's policy on immigration -- the ballot question in the upcoming Canuckistan election -- he said denounced mass immigration and "extreme multiculturalism," which he said are really "a very dangerous type of social engineering" which would lead to "social conflicts and potentially violence."

M Bernier went on to say that Canada must look after its own citizens first, and focus on newcomers who bring economic value to the country. A People's Party government, he said, would slash immigration and refugee numbers, build a fence to block asylum seekers from walking across the border, and end a program that lets immigrants sponsor their families to join them. "I can understand why immigrants would want to bring the rest of their extended family here, including older ones who will benefit from our health-care system," his text read, "but we cannot be the welfare state of the planet."

He pledged to reduce the number of immigrants admitted to Canada each year to 100,000 or 150,000 at most, if the economy and "other circumstances" allow that many. That's less than half the number currently being "welcomed" by Canuckistan's Liberal government (Just In Trudeau, Prop.) The so-called Conservatives refuse to divulge their target number, but under the last Tory government of Steve Harpoon, the number of immigrants increased to 250,000. Saying most Canadians agree with him, M Bernier cited polls suggesting up to half of respondents think immigration levels are too high.

On the question of refugees and asylum-seekers -- the issue that has most Canadians, including legal immigrants, seething -- M Bernier pledged to build fences at popular crossings for migrants between official ports of entry -- including the notorious Roxham Road "gateway" near Saint-Bernard-de-Lacolle QC -- and to rely on private sponsorships for funding new immigrants rather than government support. His speech said that a People's Party government would focus on religious minorities in Muslim-majority countries and "members of sexual minorities" instead of refugees identified by the United Nations.

Another plank in the PPC's immigration platform promises to make each immigration applicant go through a face-to-face interview with a Canadian official to judge the applicant's values and his or her acceptance of Canadian societal norms. M Bernier quoted Salim Mansour -- a PPC candidate in an Ontario riding, who happens to be a Muslim -- who has written that official multiculturalism is a lie. "A lie based on the idea that all cultures are equal," said the party leader. "A lie destructive of our Western liberal democratic heritage, traditions, and values based on individual rights and freedoms."

New poll: record numbers of Canucks against more immigration

The official party line of Canada's Liberal government, dutifully parroted by the state-owned Canadian Broadcorping Castration, is that the majority of tolerant and progressive Canadians support immigration, and all the benefits that admitting hordes of Third-Worlders will bring to a grateful country. Just a few days ago, the Ministry of Immigration and Refugees [sic] released the results of a poll, taken in March, that said that although Canucks have some reservations about the asylum-seekers crossing the US-Canada border "irregularly", they still welcome the world's poor huddled masses.

Walt and others called BS on that one. The truth is that, outside of the chattering classes of downtown Toronto and Parliament Hill, most Canadians have been dubious for decades about the merits of higher levels of immigration, now closing on 300,000 per year not counting the illegals. Today's National Post reveals the truth about popular sentiment, according to a poll taken in late July by the respected Angus Reid organization. Walt trusts that Angus Reid and Postmedia won't mind our reposting part of the article by Brian Platt and the main graphic, which shows clearly the growth of opposition to immigration over the past few years. [Memo to Postmedia: Walt doesn't make any money from this blog! It's a public service. Thank you! Ed.]

The report from the Angus Reid Institute analyzes polling data going back to 1975. It shows that throughout that period a relatively constant number of Canadians — around one in four — have always said they think immigration levels should be decreased, while support for keeping levels the same has tended to be slightly higher. Only about 10% of Canadians have supported increasing the levels during that time. But the latest poll shows a spike in opposition to immigration, which the organization says coincides with "more frequent and increasingly fraught conversations about policy regarding immigration and migration to Canada."

This year's survey shows 49% of respondents think immigration levels should be decreased, compared to 36% in 2014. 31% think levels should stay the same, compared to 48% in 2014. Only 6% think levels should be increased, compared to 9% in 2014. This brilliant bit of satire, scraped from Blazing Cat Fur, explains why so many Canucks feel that way.

Walt wonders if King Trudeau II is pleased with his handiwork. Turns out his constant virtue-signalling and shaming Canadians who disagree with him (see "What happens when Canadians exercise their right to speak freely about illegal border jumpers and diversity", WWW 20/8/18) has had the effect of poking the bear. We'll see the results in 14 months... or sooner, if Mr Socks decides to call a snap election before things get worse.

But chances of a snap election are, IMHO, slim and none. (Lifetime pct .991.) Junior doesn't read the polls, or the comments section on those CBC articles where commenting is allowed (as long as M-103 is respected).

Just yesterday, Saddam Hussesn, the Somali-born Minister for Refugees &c, announced that the Gliberals are dropping the controversial lottery system for reuniting immigrant families and moving to a first-come, first-served online system. Under the family reunification programme, they will admit 20,500 parents and grandparents -- many of them illiterate and suffering from chronic illnesses -- in 2019, and 21,000 in 2020. Those numbers are more than double the figure for the first year of JT's government, 2016, in which 10,000 applications were approved. Talk about listening to public opinion! The Liberals are stone deaf... and in 14 months will be stone dead! (Lifetime pct still .991.)

Further reading: Never thought we'd see the day when Walt would recommend a piece by the CBC's resident anti-Trumper, Neil Macdonald, but "Maxime Bernier is challenging orthodoxy. He deserves a civil reply", dealing as it does with freedom of speech, is worth reading. The comments section is open too!

"Ethnic cleansing" of Europeans opposed by Danish parliament

The Danish people -- real Danish people, descendants of the Vikings -- have had enough of scenes like this! Who can blame them? How would you like to walk into an area of the city in which you were born, only to find that it had been occupied by Muslim invaders hell-bent on driving you out?

Of course you would be furious, and rightly so! But would your government, who invited the foreigners to come and make themselves at home -- too much so -- do anything? In an uncharacteristic fit of political incorrectness, the Parliament of Denmark this week passed a motion (over the fierce opposition of the leftist parties) calling on government to reduce the number of asylum-seekers and "family reunification" migrants. Here, translated from the Danish (click here to read the original), is the text of the motion:

Parliament notes with concern that today there are areas in Denmark, where the proportion of immigrants and descendants from non-Western countries is over 50 percent. It is the belief of the Folketing [parliament] that Danes should not be in the minority in neighborhoods in Denmark.

The government and parliament have implemented a number of austerity measures that have limited asylum flows significantly, and which prevents parallel societies.

Parliament calls on the government to proceed with a political objective to reduce the number of asylum seekers and the number of family reunification, coming to Denmark.

The motion was created after Danish media reports revealed that out of the 14,754 citizens living in Brøndby Strand, more than half -- 51% -- are either immigrants or their descendants born in Denmark. Likewise, some 8645 of the townspeople of Odense are of Danish origin, while 8749 are either immigrants or their descendants.

According to figures (sadly outdated) from Statistics Denmark, other areas with large "non-western" immigrant populations include Brabrand (36%), Ishøj (32%), Bronshoj (28%), Tilst (28%), Aarhus V (27%), Taastrup (24%), Copenhagen NV (23%), and Esbjerg Ø (22%).

Just how the motion can be implemented by the Danish government is unclear, but the fact that a European parliament has finally officially taken notice of the ethnic cleansing of white people by Third World immigration is a breakthrough in itself.
