We don’t have to wait for a populist demagogue to be elected in Canada; he was elected in 2015. Justin Trudeau resorts to the most shameful lies, speaking of the Conservatives running on a headscarf ban in the last election, to stoke paranoia among Muslim Canadians, and sow division within our country. The three hundred thousand target for immigration, cranked up by 50,000 from the already high immigration level under the Conservative government, is, as Ibbitson should know, likely only an interim target; Trudeau’s previous Immigration Minister said that the government might adopt a 450,000 target sometime in the future. This is, as Maxime Bernier said, not an economic policy for the benefit of Canadians, but a social engineering policy. Why does Ibbitson think it is the people pushing back against these irresponsible policies  who threaten the Canadian social fabric?
