(LifeSiteNews) – Maxime Bernier, the leader of the People’s Party of Canada, warned that “cancel culture” is destroying the foundation of the nation and that while focusing on the economy is important, even more so is fighting against the rise of “wokeism.”
We all want more prosperity, because a dynamic and wealth-creating economy is how we can afford to pay for everything,” Bernier wrote in a recent blog post titled “It’s not just the economy.”
“But that’s not all there is in life. It’s not just the economy. We also need to live in a secure and stable society where our identity and way of life are preserved.”
Bernier noted how the open border “mass immigration policies” of the Canadian federal government under Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is “transforming our country at a maddening pace and threatening social cohesion.”
“I disagree that it’s good for our economy,” Bernier wrote.
“What’s the point if we become a ‘post-national’ society unable to integrate its immigrants and divided along tribal lines?”
Bernier then continued by saying, “Wokeism is taking over every institution, from the media to cultural and educational institutions, government agencies, and even the courts and businesses.”
