Sure enough, it is a uniquely Western delusion that a government purportedly has an altruistic imperative of "helping people" out of the "kindness of their hearts," as opposed to simply upholding the social contract that justifies it's creation in the first place.
It did not occur to me to respond to this, but yes, that is ultimately why Canada is doomed as a nation. With due respect to
@wry wrangler, immigration is just a facet (albeit an absolutely crucial one) of a larger problem. Our so-called ruling class led by Justin Trudeau shredded the social contract that kept society in the anglo sphere stable compared to the rest of the world. Anyone who has even a cursory knowledge of Thomas Hobbes'
Leviathan knows that the populace surrenders some personal sovereignty, notably the right to violence, to a sovereign in exchange for safety and protection from outside threats. All the government as to do is maintain order and to not screw things up so badly that it causes an uprising.
Of course, I would not be surprised if PMJT fell asleep during that chapter of Political Theory 101 because his narcissism led him to adopt absolutism as his personal philosophy. There is footage on X that reveals that PMJT believes that he was "born" for this role and that when he fights, he wins. He has a vision for this country that only he and an anointed few can comprehend because he grew up in the halls of power. That is all bunk, of course. Everything Trudeau is is because his grandfather owned several gas stations in Quebec, which is the source of the family wealth. That same wealth allowed his father, Pierre, to attain a law degree that paved the way for his political career. We should not forget that his mother, Margret, was the daughter of a Liberal cabinet minister and from an influential Vancouver family. Everything Trudeau has comes from his family and nothing more, but I digress.
At the expense of sounding like an armchair psychologist, I will reiterate that Trudeau is a textbook narcissist. You could say that he believes that he is the state. He has an extremely high sense of self-importance as he believes Canada wields a level of influence equal or even greater to that of the United States. He shows up at every G7/20/COP with the pomp and circumstance you would have expected from the 17th century House of Bourbon. As such, he craves admiration and carefully cultivated the persona of a wise and compassionate leader. Yet the truth is that he cares only for his goals and desires while disregarding the needs of average Canadians.
The TL;DR? He believes that Canadian society does not need a social contract because he is under the delusion that he knows what every Canadian needs.
People are not individuals with their own thoughts and feelings to him. He expects everyone to conform to his worldview and that includes the immigrants that he brings here en masse so that he can show how progressive and cosmopolitan "his" Canada is. He believes that Canada is winning the fight against climate change despite contributing only 2% of the world's CO2 emissions. He believes that Canadian society is harmonious when violent crime and theft is up, drug use is up, and people are at each other's throats thanks to polarization. He believes Canada is the envy of the world when our healthcare system is failing, rent/housing costs are out of control, and mass migration has brought de facto indentured labor back in force while damaging social cohesion.
It is clear as day that our government has lost the plot. Our law enforcement and judiciary outright refuse to maintain order and the fact that violent crime is on the rise is proof enough of that. Now that his policy is systematically making Canadians poorer and wiping out the middle class, there is no reason for Canadians to hold up our end of the "bargain".
