Immigration Watch and Doug Collins

Doug Collins: The xenophobic messaging of fringe lobby group Immigration Watch is too spicy for most Canadians. The groups website declares, among other things, that there are cultural limits to the number of people any country can absorb. It also directs people interested in research on the subject of immigration to read Immigration: The Destruction Of English Canada, by Doug Collins, the late BC journalist who denied the Holocaust and repeatedly vilified Jews, according to NOW. It was revealed in April that some of Canadas most popular retail and fast food outlets are indiscriminately using the TFW program to bring in cheap labour, presumably to fill jobs homegrown Canadians wont do. This news spurred IW volunteers to organize a counter-protest against the supporters of migrant workers and Racism in Canada is like spice in a stew: add just enough and it blends unnoticed into every bite. Add too much and your guests lose their appetite. But when talk turns to the Temporary Foreign Workers Program the groups views may not seem so outlandish, even to the feds, who this week announced new restrictions on the program they have been expanding at the behest of their business friends since they took power in 2006. That was then. Theres the matter of getting re-elected in 2015 to think about and the fact that unemployment means Canadians are willing to fight perceived intruders over low-wage, precarious jobs.
