Canadian Identity

Ending Official Multiculturalism and Preserving Canadian Values and Culture


Issue

A nation must be based on a sense of belonging, of participating in a common national project, and sharing the same values. It’s only when these sentiments are widely shared that we can develop the trust and common understanding necessary for our society and institutions to function.


In the past, immigrants who came to Canada gradually integrated into our society. They did of course, keep some aspects of the culture of their country of origin. They became Canadian but with a distinct flavour. This is a type of multiculturalism that enriches our society.


However, over the past decades, the government of Canada has pursued a policy of official multiculturalism that encourages immigrants to keep the values and culture they left behind instead of integrating into Canadian society and adopting Canadian values and culture.


With his cult of diversity, Justin Trudeau has pushed this ideology even further into a form of extreme multiculturalism. He described Canada as the first post-national state, with no core identity.


In a free society, immigrants have the right to cherish and maintain their cultural heritage. However, that doesn’t mean we have any obligation to help them preserve it with government programs and taxpayers’ money. The vast majority of Canadians rightly expect them to learn about our history and culture, master one of our official languages, and adopt widely shared Canadian values.


Facts

Canada is and has always been a diverse country. We have First Nations and Inuit, two official languages, a multiethnic population, and very different regional cultures. The culture of Nova Scotia is very different from that of Quebec, Alberta, or Nunavut. All these cultures are intrinsically Canadian. They were developed in Canada. They don’t exist anywhere else in the world. They deserve to be nurtured and to survive.


Our distinct values are those of a contemporary Western civilization. They include: democracy; individual rights and freedoms, including freedom of religious belief and freedom to criticize religion; equality between men and women; the equal treatment of all citizens regardless of ethnicity, religion, or sexual orientation; the rule of law; separation of state and religion; tolerance and pluralism; and loyalty to the wider society instead of to one’s clan or tribe.


Our Plan

Official multiculturalism is based on the idea that there is no unified Canadian society and no distinct Canadian identity to integrate into and that we are just a collection of ethnic and religious tribes living side by side. But if we want to keep our country united and ensure social cohesion, we must focus on what unites us as Canadians, not what divides us.


A People's Party government will:

✓ Repeal the Multiculturalism Act

Repeal the Multiculturalism Act and eliminate all funding to promote multiculturalism. Emphasize instead the integration of immigrants into Canadian society.


✓ Impose a Moratorium on Immigration

Impose a moratorium on new permanent residents for as many years as necessary until the housing crisis has cooled down, the negative economic impact of mass immigration has been neutralized, and the process of social and cultural disintegration due to mass immigration has been reversed; thereafter, substantially lower the number of permanent residents Canada accepts every year to between 100,000 and 150,000, depending on economic and other circumstances (see policy on Immigration).


✓ Require a Canadian Values Test

Ensure that every candidate for immigration undergoes a face-to-face interview and answers a series of specific questions to assess the extent to which he or she shares Canadian values and societal norms.
