For several days, the Canadian political class has been in panic mode.
The decision of the next Trump administration to impose a more than significant customs tariff on both Canada and Mexico could seriously destabilize our economy.
We don’t really know what will come out of this standoff, other than that Donald Trump must be taken seriously.
Many also recognized that Trump had legitimate grievances against Canada, which transformed its border into a sieve.
Borders
It is also to force Canada to manage it correctly that Trump is using the tariff threat.
Canada is paying the price here for the lax, immigrationist policy, inscribed in the logic of the 1982 constitution, but radicalized like never before by Justin Trudeau.
Canada has taken itself as a universal refuge while also believing that it embodies a moral ideal for the entire planet. This amounted to a form of collective self-harm. But also, he put his neighbors in danger.
The provincial premiers are currently encouraging Justin Trudeau to do what is necessary to reassure Donald Trump, and François Legault is asking him not to sacrifice Quebec’s interests in the upcoming negotiations.
He is right to be concerned – sacrificing Quebec’s interests is an old Canadian tradition.
I am even convinced that deep down, François Legault is convinced that Quebec would better defend its interests if it were fully responsible for its affairs.
But let’s go further: in this sequence, Quebec pays the price here for its belonging to this absurd country that is Canada.
Because we can be almost certain of one thing: an independent Quebec would never have given in to the borderless, immigrationist and globalist ideology that reigns in Ottawa.
This is because Quebec, unlike Canada, is not a country without an identity, which wanted to give itself one by sanctifying “diversity” to the point of madness, on the postnational model. He does not seek to fill an interior void by consenting to its submersion.
Therefore, an independent Quebec, which structurally would have better managed its borders, would not be called upon to suffer the consequences of Canadian negligence.
We can draw a more general lesson from this: belonging to a country where we are only a less and less significant minority has consequences for our collective life and for our prosperity.
Ottawa
We are paying the price for Canadian migration policy.
We are paying the price of Canada’s unhealthy debt.
We are paying the price for Canadian energy choices, which favor Western resources over those of Quebec.
We are paying the price for Canadian multiculturalism, which hinders and even sabotages our integration policies.
We are paying the price of Canadian language policy, which pushes for the marginalization of French in Quebec.
Canada costs us dearly and brings us little. It is urgent to get out of it.
