Hugh Segal was chief of staff to Brian Mulroney when Mulroney decided to triple immigration. Why dd he do that? According to a Globe and Mail report available if you google it, the deciding factor was that they figured all those new immigrants would vote for the Progressive Conservatives. Now here he is complaining about identity politics as if it's something dirty.

Oh, you thought our immigration types and numbers were decided by experts to help Canada? Sorry, no. They're decided by back room political hacks in whatever they see as he interest of their party.
