Like that army of turbans blocking the Vancouver airport the other day...
Between a policy that creates crazy extremists who do acts that barely get news attention and a policy that creates crazy extremists who nearly burn down entire suburbs... I think I'll pick the former.
It's not like closing borders is an option anyway. Other than the moral objections attached to it, it'd imply dealing with a massive demographic crash in no time.

Yeah, and the demographic crash will only come later, so mass-immigration won't change much in the end. But hey, I'v already said why I don't vote PQ/BQ.

The demographic crash will happen anyway, that we agree on. But it'll be less extreme and, yes, it will happen later, giving us more time to prepare.

"To prepare" ??
[cough cough]

Yes, exactly. To prepare. Increase formation in areas where there will be massive retirement. Make pro-late retirement campaigns or pro-part time jobs for retirees. That kind of stuff.
