Last week, news broke of a 55-foot statue of the Hindu deity, Hanuman, being constructed in Brampton, Ontario.
The statue sparked a debate amongst conservative-minded Canadians.
Critics pointed out how inappropriate it was for such a gigantic statue from a minority religion to dominate the urban landscape in a Canadian city, while monuments to our own history (such as Queen Victoria or Sir John A. Macdonald) are being vandalized or torn down.
Others said it is an issue of religious freedoms, that it is being built with private funds on private land, and that others — especially the government — should stay out of it. And also that those who are destroying Canada’s heritage are not Hindu Canadians, but mostly white far woke leftists.
I find there are valid arguments on both sides of this debate.
What I don’t like is that some critics have been quick to label anyone who criticizes the statue as bigots or racists, when there are good reasons to be concerned.
There is a larger context. This whole debate is happening at the same time as we learn that three more churches have been arsoned in Alberta in December, following dozens of others in the past few years.
And as the City of Toronto announced that a key urban landmark, Yonge-Dundas Square, will be renamed Sankofa Square.
What’s incredible is that the City is doing this to get rid of an 18th century British politician who was supposedly in favour of the slave trade, when all serious historians say that on the contrary he was an abolitionist.
And Sankofa is a concept that refers to “reclaming the past” in the language of an African tribe that itself was involved in the slave trade!!
John, you can’t make this up. The level of craziness and self-loathing of Canada’s woke elites is just unbelievable!
In Canada today, anything that refers to our past and traditional culture can be cancelled, smeared, or destroyed, while anything that is recent and imported from other countries is OK.
While the economic side of the consequences of mass immigration have broken into the mainstream, any discussion on the cultural consequences still remains quite taboo.
But at the PPC, we’re all about breaking taboos!
Cultural balkanization is becoming a reality in our country. And it’s necessary to have this debate now.
It comes down to a question of “what do you want this country to look like in 5, 10, 20 years?”
Because the reality is that under the current trajectory, Canada’s identity is being fast erased.
This is happening first in our big cities, but soon in our smaller towns as well.
These changes in our society are being driven by the irresponsible, unsustainable, and self-destructive mass immigration and radical multiculturalism policies of Justin Trudeau.
More than 1-million foreigners are entering our country each year with little pressure to assimilate into the mainstream Canadian identity.
In fact, they’re actively encouraged to maintain the language, culture, values, and social attitudes of the country they left.
As you can see on this graph, 10 of Canada’s 41 large urban centres have a higher proportion of immigrants than all of Canada.
We received almost 450,000 foreigners in just the last 3 months! This is how rapidly our country is changing!
A nation is more than just geographic boundaries, it is a people with a shared history and culture.
Unless drastic measures are taken soon, this transformation will sweep the rest of our country.
So what do you think, John? What do you want our country to look like in 5, 10, 15 years?
Donate $15 today to help us put an end to mass immigration and preserve Canadian identity.
Cheers,
Max
