Trudeau’s ambitious, unannounced, and probably unexamined design was to take the country out of the ambit of Christendom within two or three generations altogether, and make it the vanguard of the Third World in the Western Hemisphere.
I’m not aware of Trudeau setting this out anywhere, but if it wasn’t his plan, God alone knows what he thought the natural consequences of his policies would be. As it turned out, the first consequence was a notion that Canada isn’t really an entity with its own culture but a political framework for a multitude of co-existing cultures, followed by a retreat from the principle that immigration should always serve the interests of the host country first. This encouraged and rewarded a new type of immigrant, who was no longer a settler, here to fit in, prosper, and put down roots; a refugee, trying to weather a storm; or even an enterprising gold digger making his fortune before returning home. No: The new type was a conqueror whose quest was to alter Canada to suit him and his tribe.
