But we have Pierre Polyev tweeting, this was in March,
00:00:03.100
Mark Wiseman, co-founder of the Century Initiative, is also an advisor to Mark Carney.
00:00:07.080
The Century Initiative is a radical group that wants to increase Canada's population to 100 million by 2100.
00:00:13.980
A conservative government will fix our immigration system and oppose the radical project of the Century Initiative.
00:00:19.700
I mean, Daniel, the Conservative Party already opposes immigration, right?
00:00:24.240
This is what we hear from the Conservative Party supporters.
00:00:26.900
They already oppose immigration. Look at this, right?
00:00:29.840
what are your thoughts on that i remember when that video was posted to be to be honest the most
00:00:33.920
promising thing in that post is not pierre pauliev's comments it's that cute young women
00:00:38.720
are concerned about mass immigration that's that was my takeaway from that clip it was really too
00:00:43.520
little too late for the conservative party jumped on it late in the game they had years to to kind
00:00:48.080
of set the terms and make the case against immigration and tie it to justin trudeau and
00:00:52.720
the liberals record instead as you've been saying for a long time they stayed focused on trudeau's
00:00:57.280
got to go and the carbon tax and instead of picking up these important nationalist messages
00:01:02.960
and talking points they tried to play it safe and a score on the empty net and then we saw that blow
00:01:08.080
up in their face through the election campaign they did grab on to immigration a little bit but
00:01:12.640
it was all exactly along that messaging that you brought up was all about the century initiative
00:01:17.120
especially when mark weisman got appointed they just used the century initiative and this concept
00:01:22.800
of raising our population to 100 million by 2100
00:01:26.200
as a sort of boogeyman to scare people around mass immigration.
00:01:30.000
But what they really needed to do was grapple with the issue as it is now.
00:01:33.380
We don't need a boogeyman of what Canada is going to become
00:01:41.600
We're already dealing with the negative consequences.
00:01:44.380
And if you had grappled with what Canadians are facing today,
00:01:47.240
I think their messaging would have been a lot more effective and successful.
00:01:51.260
You know, we don't need to create this boogeyman that's in 2100.
00:01:58.280
I see all types of boogeymen all over the place.
