Contemporary Colonialism Through Multiculturalism: Multiculturalism and the myth of a post-colonial state: how modern immigration is ensuring the cont

We are constantly told that Canada is a country of immigrants that was built on immigration and that continued immigration is necessary in order to sustain the country’s national identity, economy and to ensure that ethnic and cultural diversity is a paramount feature of the social and political landscape. Mass contemporary immigration is being sold to Canadians through the guise of multiculturalism and through the concept that diversity is somehow a form of social strength while completely disregarding how modern day immigration is no different than past colonial immigration that was specifically designed to displace the Indigenous people from their land. This displacement simply occurs through the contemporary immigration and settlement of non-Indigenous people who require the use of land and resources in the exact same manner as past colonial immigration encouraged and allowed white settlers to occupy and use Indigenous people’s lands for their own benefit and the justification of building nation a that reflects white European colonialism. Today this contemporary settlement is celebrated as multiculturalism and it is the reason why Canada virtually has national borders that are open wider than what the initial European colonizers ever implemented. Multiculturalism has replaced initial European colonialism and is specifically designed to increase the non-Indigenous settler population and expropriate even more land and resources that once belonged to the First Nations Peoples. Meanwhile, governments, politicians, academics, intellectuals, social justice warriors, media and the vast majority of the general public all acknowledge how Canada is on stolen land and that European colonialism has wreaked havoc on the Indigenous people and that reconciliation should be first and foremost. On top of this we constantly hear the virtuous preaching form those who claim that Canada is land stolen from the Indigenous people, that Canada desperately needs more immigration and that multiculturalism is part of the national identity and if you oppose it you’re racist. The blinding light of multiculturalism has created a contemporary colonialism that is pushing the Indigenous people even further away from their traditional ways than past colonialism has ever done and this travesty is not even noticed by Canadians or the people who claim that they care what’s best for the Indigenous people. Even the Indigenous people themselves fail to see how multiculturalism is creating the perfect storm of contemporary colonialism that is being covertly implemented as a means of maintaining the social structure of whiteness that initial European colonialism established. Multiculturalism is a political philosophy that is purposely designed and enforced by non-Indigenous people in order to occupy more land and resources and to benefit and maintain the establishment of whiteness that colonialism was intended to do in a white settler society. Contemporary colonialism through multiculturalism is a topic that has not been researched, discussed, written as an academic thesis or debated as much as the individual topics of multiculturalism or colonialism have been themselves. This book integrates the two subjects of multiculturalism and colonialism and how they relate to a contemporary perspective that results in modern day colonialism.
