‘Kind of terrifying’: Numbers show racist Great Replacement conspiracy theory has found audience in Canada
Timothy Caulfield has spent the pandemic battling bunk science and lies.
The course of COVID-19 has seen more Canadians spiral into the realm of conspiracy theories and it’s kept the misinformation expert busy.
So busy, he says, he felt he didn’t have time to really delve into one, particular conspiracy theory that was gaining traction: the racist lie that there is a co-ordinated effort to replace white people with immigrants, in what is known as the Great Replacement theory.
You know they’re running scared when ham-fisted efforts to label anyone who questions immigration policy as a “far-right” racist start turning up. The goal, plain and simple, is to stifle debate and even criminalize dissent.
Sorry Star but the jig is up. Multiculturalism and Diversity are widely and correctly viewed as toxic lies used to justify a Mass Immigration policy that is designed to sate corporate greed and buy votes for our vile political class. It sure as hell isn’t designed to benefit citizens.
Besides it’s not a conspiracy if it’s true.
Opinion: Canada replacing its population a case of wilful ignorance, greed, excess political correctness
According to University of London professor Eric Kaufmann, almost seven out of 10 Vancouver residents will be “visible minorities” within two generations and 80 per cent of the Canadian population (compared to 20 per cent today) will be non-white in less than century.
Kaufmann notes that, with its continuing high immigration intake and the fact that four out of five newcomers are visible minorities, Canada is undergoing the fastest rate of ethnic change of any country in the Western world.
Questions must be asked about why such drastic population replacement is taking place and who is benefiting from it.
While Canada has been helped by large-scale immigration at various times in its history, the current high intake causes more problems than benefits for our current population. Our economy grows because of the increasing population, but the average Canadian gets a smaller piece of the bigger pie. The cost is huge — with latest estimates indicating taxpayers have to underwrite recent arrivals to the tune of around $30 billion annually. Young people in large cities such as Vancouver and Toronto are being crowded out of the housing market by sky-high prices caused largely by the ceaseless flow of new arrivals, and the quality of life of most residents is negatively effected by increased traffic and commute times, along with congestion and pressure on the health care and education systems.
