Bollocks Du Jour: Relaxing Citizenship Rules Is Good for Canada/Canadians

Thanks to the Trudeaupian/Trudopian Liberals it's easier than ever to become a Canadian, and newcomers by the drove appear to be taking advantage of the new laxness. Here, in a nutshell, is the lame rationale for dumbing down citizenship requirements (my bolds):

Andrew Griffith, a former senior immigration official, author and fellow of the Canadian Global Affairs Institute, said it's too early to tell if the jump in numbers represents a blip or part of a longer-term trend. But he believes an increased rate of citizenship fosters social cohesion and eases community tensions as immigrants have a deeper connection to the country and to Canadian society.

There's no real proof of that, of course (and, hewing to the doctrine of multiculturalism, immigrants are told they can keep to their own communities and are not required to integrate to the larger society--which is hardly a recipe for "social cohesion"). There is, however, much to suggest that loosening the regulations is a great way to foster a larger pool of voters who feel a deep connection to the Liberals.
