Much of this is going to reverse after the GAE (Global American Empire)/USD collapse.

Look for it this Winter, coming to a country near you!

Yes, though I doubt the USD collapse will happen so soon.

Reducing recent immigrants to guest worker status would certainly be an improvement to the current state of affairs, in which Canada's native sons are made second class citizens.

It's a realistic solution, though it isn't the best one. If we could ban immigration altogether for a few years, that may be preferable. It could give the recent batch of migrants the chance to blend in, and existing Canadians the required breathing room.

By the way, I enjoyed your essay about Canada as a post-national state!

I'm glad you liked it!

Thinking about this, I could see the recent fetishization of aboriginals as unintentionally paving the way for the system you suggest. First Nations are raised to the top of the totem pole, but the Second Nations are just behind them. All others at the bottom.

Of course, that presumes that the anti-white premises of post-War liberalism are repudiates.

Quite possible. The strange land acknowledgments in Canada betray an ignorance of history on the part of the elite — as you allude to, the indigenous folk’s status is enshrined in established treaties.

The anti-white nonsense will fade once the Boomers die, methinks.

Yes, I think it's their generational pieties that keep that in place.

Just be like higher-IQ Japan and treat migrants as disposable. They’re just foreigners, after all. If they didn’t like it, they wouldn’t come. They don’t deserve better treatment than their home countries offer. Migrants are guests and should be expected to act as good guests and either work or leave. If they want family, they are free to throw away their old identity and become a native after proving themselves. Perhaps no native will touch a person with dark skin, but that’s life in a foreign country for you.

Canada effectively treats migrants as disposable without enshrining it into law. The country uses immigration to patch over its broken politics and economy.

High IQ isn’t necessary when you have natural resource wealth like Canada or the UAE. The model I propose is one similar to Dubai’s. Otherwise, I agree with your overall sentiment.
