The problem with the Global Compact – signed by nearly 150 nations at a conference in Marrakech, Morocco on Monday – is not that it will set up some global government to enforce free migration of hundreds of millions of people over the objections of democratically elected national governments. Rather, the compact will be used by “progressives” in Western countries to promote and defend their existing politically correct agendas.
Yet the Trudeau government knows that if Canadians are permitted to call these immigrants “illegal,” it will make the Liberals’ goal of accepting them all the more difficult. So since earlier this year, the Trudeau-ites have insisted they be referred to as “irregular migrants.”
Not coincidentally, that is the same vocabulary used in the UN’s new compact. And now that the compact is signed, we can expect our own Liberal government (rather than some shadowy New World Order) to start using the compact to justify their actions.
The new compact might also be used to censor those who criticize immigration. (That’s one of the document’s stated goals, in fact.)
Antonio Guterres, the UN Secretary-General, speaking in Morocco on Monday, explained it was necessary to stop criticism of migrants because that dehumanizes them, and dehumanization is an early step towards fascism.
Sorry, but isn’t suppression of free speech also an early step towards fascism?
It’s not hard to imagine, though, a Canadian human rights commission using our country’s signature on the “meaningless” compact to rule that legitimate opposition to immigration policies amounts to hate speech and must, therefore, be banned.
Then imagine how popular the populists will become.
