The front-page headline demanded action: “Time to Close the Gates.” It was March 26, 1908. Centred on the page, a list of three recently murdered men and their four “supposed slayers” – their non-Anglo-Saxon, ethnic names unmissable in all-caps. “The Goth is at our own gates,” The Globe editorial warned.
“One has only to glance at this list to see that the Slav and the Italian are swelling the statistics of crime in this country.” The only effective cure for the “invasion” would be “the closing of the gates on the offscourings of the Slav and Latin races.”
This Globe piece is one of a small flurry of articles that have recently appeared expressing concern about Canadian attitudes toward immigration and or identity politics.
It’s not surprising that the paper of record for Canada’s Corporate cronies will have published 3 such pieces in that last week.
The elite have have sold Canadians a “patriotic myth” that immigration is always beneficial and that to oppose it is racist.
Someone is getting worried about their supply of cheap foreign labour hence the push to remind Canadians to know their place in the run-up to Canada Day.
Globe – Canadians don’t need to worry about identity politics
Globe – In a country where immigrants are the majority, anti-immigration politics are obsolete
Ottawa Citizen – As Canada ages, it risks losing the post-war consensus on immigration
Epoch Times – Identity Politics Destroy a Country’s Unity (Despite the title just a big ‘Hurrah’ for immigration)
