On October 30, 1995, a great man summed
up the feelings rapidly spreading within the West about the toxic political
influence of mass immigration. In the era of Brexit, we now take the
geographic region of choice, prefix it, and add the "exit" suffix.
Much of this modern sanity is owed to Jacques Parizeau, who spoke the
unspeakable and helped reopen the door to a rational discussion regarding the
concerns surrounding mass immigration.
At
the time, Parizeau was the premier of Quebec, and he launched a referendum to
determine if residents of his province wanted to declare national sovereignty
and become an independent country. Sadly, the pro-independence side lost,
just 49.42% to 50.58%. Voter turnout was an astonishing 94%.
After
the results came in, and it was clear the sovereignists had lost by the narrowest
of margins, Parizeau blamed the loss on "l'argent et le vote
ethnique," which translates to money and the ethnic vote.
The "vote ethnique" was the real
cause, and the ethnic vote has now, unfortunately, forever doomed the Quebecois
culture and their desires for an independent state. The sovereignists
lost by just 54,000 votes. In 1995, the Canadian federal government – who
rabidly opposed the independence movement – ordered its Citizenship Court
judges from across the country to move into Quebec and immediately award full
citizenship rights to immigrants in order to turn the tide against separation.
It worked. During the months leading up to the vote, 44,000
immigrants were
given citizenship and allowed – read: encouraged – to vote against
independence. This alone, coupled with known "voting
irregularities," ended any hope at the time of what could have been termed
Quebexit.
Fast-forward
more than two decades, and Quebexit has an immigrant nail in its coffin.
The province had 975,000
foreign-born individuals as of 2011, or more than 12% of its total
population, and this number is growing as it continues to accept tens of
thousands of new migrants each year while having a low birth rate among its
old-stock population. These immigrants will effectively entirely vote
against sovereignty, presenting an insurmountable hurdle for the sovereignists.
Of
course, that was always the plan for the globalists and multiculturalists.
Saturate a society with immigrants, beating down opposition with
accusations of xenophobia, racism, etc., and change the demographics so
radically that the native demographic becomes a minority.
Quebec's Parti Québécois walked right into this trap in the decades
before the 1995 referendum. The party was largely neutered, with a few
exceptions – such as Parizeau, against any critical thought about the immigrant
invasion underway that would preclude ever reaching their goals of
independence.
Old-stock
Canadians throughout the nation should have been more indignant of being
continually lectured to by immigrant media commentators from
quasi-authoritarian states, whether they came by way of Singapore or
the former communist states of eastern Europe.
The U.K. narrowly avoided Quebec's
ethnic disaster. Had Britain waited perhaps two or three more years, the
increased Muslim population alone would almost assuredly have prevented a
successful Brexit vote. The Netherlands, France, Spain, and others are in
the same boat, having approximately the same
percentage of immigrants as the U.K. If they manage to secure
their "exits," it will be by luck alone, and the window of
opportunity is narrowing rapidly, if it hasn't already passed.
