Dominion Society of Canada - The window shifts

In this episode, I discuss a new piece written by Anthony Koch in the National Post about the role that Conservatives have played in the establishment of multiculturalism and mass immigration in Canada, and how they have helped the left undermine the West.

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

00:00:30.820 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 kind of

00:01:01.080 establishment of multiculturalism and mass immigration. In Canada, the progressive

00:01:05.420 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

00:01:14.140 alike transformed national identity into something shared, into something merely managed. Brian

00:01:20.200 Mulroney enshrined multiculturalism into the cornerstone of Canadian political consensus,

00:01:24.740 Stephen Harper, though more cautious, did little to challenge its assumptions.

00:01:29.280 The conservatives spoke of integration, but funded the same bureaucracies of fragmentation.

00:01:34.760 Even in opposition, they supported the immigration policies advanced by the liberal government,

00:01:38.780 even though when evidence showed integration was faltering and housing, health care and

00:01:42.720 wages were suffering.

00:01:43.820 And let it be said plainly, this is not a rejection of immigration, blah, blah, blah.

00:01:47.720 He starts, he needs to add his pro-immigration cope at the end, or else it wouldn't get published

00:01:52.480 in the National Post.

00:01:53.440 and while this is kind of frustrating because the national post ignores my emails and won't

00:01:57.460 publish my articles it is a representation of the shifting overton window we see these

00:02:02.220 kind of cpc swamp monsters more and more willing to to adopt our idea and share them through

00:02:08.100 canada's biggest kind of ostensibly conservative publication this is a massive development even

00:02:13.480 in the last couple of months as the conservative party has been more willing to to criticize

00:02:18.080 immigration and multiculturalism they haven't been able to to talk about the role that their

00:02:22.820 own party has played in it and they have played an important role they're just as responsible for

00:02:26.900 this so-called immigration consensus as the opposition as as the liberal party but this

00:02:32.420 willingness of these kind of younger kind of conservative new right folks as they're calling

00:02:37.220 themselves to grapple with even the role that they've played in multiculturalism is a promising

00:02:41.620 signal
