I can't help wondering what accommodation, instead of assimilation, looks like. Carried through to its end it results in multiple communities, almost mini-countries, and no social cohesion. That result would require policy adjustments that would be far harsher than requiring assimilation at the start.
I always fall back on: "reality is conservative". Progressive policies allowed to run their course end up requiring conservative corrections.
What made Canada so attractive in the past was our economic ascendancy, and cultural cohesion. We flushed any sense of that over a decade ago.
The idea that folks leaving for better opportunities for countries that offer more innovation, more investment, and better standards of living is laughable, were it not so pathetic.
The Liberal Party has been sold to Canadians as vibrant, centrist, collection of competent, innovative actors.
What we have been delivered is a sclerotic, obese, intellectually bereft collection of 70 + Boomers waiting for one more big payday.
Well done, Canada; you finally got the Government you deserve.

That caught my eye as well.
My Canada was built on economic ascendancy, and cultural cohesion.

A very timely and poignant summary of the state of this country Alex. April 13 will become another one of many steps backwards over the last 10 years.
Pichette is a socio-path.
It is very clear to the young cohort you address. Develop the skills and knowledge the US wants and leave this hell hole as soon as you can.
Canada is not a hell hole. Travel the country and you will find that out.
In this sense, accommodation is synonymous with surrender.
This is such a strong, significant call to arms.

And after the exit tax doesn't work, do we build a wall and kill people who try to leave?
