The Century Initiative (CI) states as their purpose to ensure “an influential and prosperous future for Canada.” That the CI scheme hinges on one shocking objective: to increase Canada’s population to some 100 million people by the year 2100.
The articles I’ve read, the publicly available CI musings found on the interwebs (some of which is here, here, and here), hits on only a very few themes which meant to tug on the emotions; short-term appeals to the feelz, dosed with the typical postmodern attacks to white-guilt.
Some would have you believe Canada is a closed country. We make it super difficult for people to immigrate. That’s arguably not correct, and coupled with Trudeau’s post-national open-border policy we’ve become a walk-up welfare buffet. Heck, every day illegals just walk over the border from America into Quebec.
According to some, we’re hogging resources for ourselves. Included within the category of resources, in addition to stuff in the ground like minerals, is the actual ground. You see, we Canadians have too damn much geography all to ourselves, a hangover, some would have you believe, of our colonialist attitude which must end.
To create this utopia government spending would have to at the city, regional, provincial, and federal levels. Budgets would skyrocket year after year. And Canadian taxpayers would be on the hook for tens of billions of spending, this utter madness.
The level of analysis offered up in support of the motion is, well, seriously razor-thin. Noticeably absent from Century Initiative information is data. Sure there is a chart or graph here and there; references to third party somethings. We are to simply take their word, trust their vision, and shuffle off in silence to await further instructions.
Basically, this is an elitist plan to erase what Canadians know as Canada. To push aside the immense human effort upon which previous generations laid-out a solid foundation, and for which thousands of patriots made the ultimate sacrifice on foreign soil to defend this Dominion from evil.
Globalists are thick-on-the-ground throughout the western democracies. They are determined to extinguish the canons of classic liberalism and install themselves, our self-declared moral betters to mete out resources as they see fit and to arrange for the population dull lives of serfdom.
Again, the proffered talking points for those advocating for what is nothing short of Canada 2.0, a do over, is that we must act now to massively increase immigration lest Canada’s economic engine slows, our living standard declines, and, oh yes, you guessed it; future generations won’t have the same economic prospects that exist today.
They’d have you believe the greatest risk is to maintain the status-quo. Simply by following their plan everything will come up sunshine and lollipops. At its core this is a globalist plan to fully transform Canadian society. Every part of our lives to be micro-managed, controlled, and pushed toward some technocratic pluralist utopia. Oh, please, another shade of socialism, count me out!
Do you recall ever being asked about any of this? Of course not. That would mean consulting with colonial-minded resource-hogging Canadians. You know; the people working in Canada, raising families, and paying taxes.
