00:00:00.000 there was another op-ed today published in the National Post that I wanted to talk about
00:00:04.960 by Anthony Koch. Most of you are probably unfamiliar with Anthony, but he is a kind of
00:00:10.560 CPC operative. He was on Poiliev's leadership team. He was the kind of press secretary, I think,
00:00:17.280 during the transition. And then he left to work for the Conservative Party of British Columbia.
00:00:21.520 He was their communications director during the provincial election. So he's a pretty,
00:00:25.240 he's a young guy, but he's a pretty well-established kind of CPC backroom type of guy. And he published
00:00:30.800 an article today to the effect of how conservatives helped the left undermine the West. And he goes
00:00:37.820 through and he takes a few international examples of failed right-wing parties in France and in
00:00:43.840 Germany. But eventually he does get back to Canada. And I thought this was very interesting
00:00:48.260 because this kind of represents an institutional CPC or adopting our talking points. Here it is.
00:00:54.740 he goes on to explain that brian mulroney and stephen harper played a role in the the kind
00:01:00.900 of establishment of multiculturalism and mass immigration in can the press progressive
00:01:05.460 conservatives and later the federal conservative party presided over the codification and expansion
00:01:09.300 of official multiculturalism a policy that under successive liberal and conservative governments
00:01:14.100 alike transformed national identity into something shared uh into something merely managed brian
00:01:20.100 Ryan Mulroney enshrined multiculturalism into the cornerstone of Canadian political consensus.
00:01:24.960 Stephen Harper, though more cautious, did little to challenge its assumptions.
00:01:29.220 The Conservatives spoke of integration, but funded the same bureaucracies of fragmentation.
00:01:34.740 Even in opposition, they supported the immigration policies advanced by the Liberal government,
00:01:38.640 even though when evidence showed integration was faltering and housing, health care and wages were suffering.
00:01:43.840 And let it be said plainly, this is not a rejection of immigration, blah, blah, blah.
00:01:47.640 He needs to add his pro-immigration cope at the end or else it wouldn't get published in the National Post.
00:01:53.940 And while this is kind of frustrating because the National Post ignores my emails and won't publish my articles,
00:01:58.560 it is a representation of the shifting Overton window.
00:02:01.500 We see these kind of CPC swamp monsters more and more willing to adopt our idea 1.00
00:02:07.000 and share them through Canada's biggest kind of ostensibly conservative publication.
00:02:12.000 This is a massive development.
00:02:13.160 Even in the last couple of months, as the conservative party has been more willing to
00:02:17.460 criticize immigration and multiculturalism, they haven't been able to talk about the role
00:02:22.520 that their own party has played in it.
00:02:24.020 And they have played an important role.
00:02:25.440 They're just as responsible for this so-called immigration consensus as the opposition, as
00:02:30.560 the liberal party.
00:02:31.980 But this willingness of these kind of younger kind of conservative new right folks, as they're
00:02:36.960 calling themselves, to grapple with even the role that they've played in multiculturalism
00:02:40.900 is a promising signal.
00:02:43.160 You
