Take Back Canada: Immigration, Corporate Influence, and the Future of Canadian Values

Government Bureaucracy,

 

Canada has long been known for its welcoming nature and multicultural society. But in recent years, some of us have raised concerns about the rapid changes taking place in the country, particularly in relation to immigration and the influence of corporate interests on government policies. I sit down with Ethan Duggan, the founder of Take Back Canada, to discuss further.

Ethan spoke candidly about how his perspective shifted over the past few years as he observed the rapid pace of change in the country, driven by mass immigration and what he sees as the erosion of Canadian values.

One of the most striking aspects of our conversation was Ethan’s emphasis on the importance of Canadian culture and identity. He pointed out that while immigration itself is not the issue, the scale and nature of current immigration policies are transforming Canada in ways that many citizens did not vote for. “No one voted for the Century Initiative,” Ethan argues that this level of immigration is being driven by corporate interests seeking cheap labour, rather than a genuine concern for the well-being of Canadians.

Ethan also touched on the challenges faced by new immigrants who are often brought into Canada under the guise of opportunity but end up in precarious, low-paying jobs. The exploitation of temporary foreign workers, in particular, is a concern that Ethan feels is not being adequately addressed by the government. “We need to remember that the ‘temporary’ in Temporary Foreign Worker Program is there for a reason,” Ethan stated, stressing the importance of ensuring that these workers are not just seen as a cheap source of labor but as individuals whose lives are directly impacted by government policies.

What resonated most with me during our discussion was Ethan’s call for a reassessment of what it means to be Canadian. He believes that Canada’s strength lies in its ability to integrate newcomers while preserving the core values that have defined the nation for generations. This, he argues, is being threatened by policies that prioritize economic growth over social cohesion.

Ethan left me with a thought-provoking challenge: “History is watching us. What kind of country do we want to leave for future generations?” It’s a question that all Canadians, regardless of political affiliation, should consider as we navigate these complex issues.

One thing is clear: the conversation needs to happen. And it needs to be rooted in a genuine concern for the future of Canada, not just the interests of a select few.
