"Given these facts, should French-speaking people concentrate their efforts on Quebec or take the whole of Canada as their base? In my opinion, they should do both; and for the purpose they could find no better instrument than federalism", Pierre Trudeau, Page 31 "Federalism" (1968).Four out of five Immigration offices in Great Britain our historic source of immigrants, mostly to the Rest of Canada, were closed. Offices across the third world and in French speaking countries were opened. Only 12% of immigrants settle in Quebec; 60% pile into Ontario alone. Adding to this mess was the total laxity of immigration and refugee authorities. Abuses were ignored and even encouraged by the Liberals, especially in Ontario and British Columbia, the latter taking about 25%. Hundreds of thousands poured in with no identification, visas, passports or other papers (flushed down airline toilets) or falsely declaring themselves refugees. The rest of the world approves 15% of Refugee applicants; we took 40 to 55%. The Liberals allowed the declined refugees to appeal forever and finally lost track of them. Few were ejected. Blind to the dangerous path Trudeau was taking them, they passed the Multicultural Act of Canada, declaring all cultures in Canada the equal of each other. Nice eh! So the latest backward third-world illiterate coming from some brutal dictatorship arrived in Canada and instantly became the cultural equal of a free, well educated citizen of Canada. A citizen with a deep 1000-year heritage of a hard won culture of free speech, freedom of the press and a vibrant democracy of the rule of law. Through the new mechanism of Human Rights Kangaroo court tribunals (they also established) they took to punishing journalists, police, teachers or any other luckless outspoken Canadian that had transgressed some ethnic taboo or was said to have commented negatively on the behaviour of any identifiable minority. They insultingly ordered these victims to take sensitivity training classes (run by “expert” minorities). The new designated minorities were never required to take such courses regarding insults to Canadian sensibilities. Politically Correct Behavior thus became another disgusting Liberal legacy. Many non-minority Canadians became frightened to say anything, for fear of offending or running afoul of some rule or regulation and causing themselves or their employer grief. Today, the term “politically correct” is everywhere and heaven forbid one should ever be called a racist. Some are so terrified that for them their society seems like walking on glass. The Liberals pushed the glories of a Mosaic of Cultures. The delights of colourful dresses (don’t dare call them costumes) new foods, music and dance were the “in” thing. True, we enjoy such experiences. However, we are consigned to the dustbin of cultural history when our culture is equated with a tiny piece of coloured tile. The Liberals then told their new voters that Canada was a “Blank Slate,” we had no existing culture (other than Quebecois) and it was up to these new immigrants to help write a new Canadian culture for we amorphous nobodies. That is how the Liberal third dimension (think depth) quicksand “Center” of Canadian radical politics destroyed our British derived culture and devolved that culture into a pale image of its former self. All this while busily devolving and extolling the introverted failing “French” culture of the Nation of Quebec. Radical Extremist Liberals Rule not Govern Notice the Liberals (and unfortunately the so-called Red Tories under Clark and Mulroney) never use the word “govern.” They use the words “power” or “rule.” They don’t see themselves governing responsibly. So they then proceeded to “rule” again by backing Trudeau’s badly flawed Charter of Rights and Freedoms (1982). That Charter is the deepest part of the quicksand trap into which Trudeau led his Liberal followers. The Charter so abuses our great existing English common laws and principles that the deceived novice and legally untrained person sees it as, “a wonderful document guaranteeing my freedoms.” It is in fact a total reversal of the rule of law that has been forced upon unsuspecting Canadians. Are my statements correct? Here are some facts; First, no government has the right to dictate to you what your freedoms are. Their job is to defend our freedoms. Second, they inserted group rights into the Charter (special laws for special groups of people), an anathema to our British derived principle that, “Every individual person is the equal of every other individual person before and under the Law.” Third, they gave carte blanche to nine unelected judges of the Supreme Court of Canada (and every other senior judge in Canada) to use the Charter to dictate new law to Canadians, thus by-passing Parliament. There is much more effrontery to Canadian freedoms in the Charter menace, the above is but a small sample.
