Doug Collins' 1979 Immigration Warning Fell on Deaf Ears

Wednesday, August 26, 2026 23:22

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

During his four years in a Nazi prisoner of war camp, Doug Collins (1920-2001) made ten

escape attempts.

In his 1979 book (left) he tried to alert English Canadians to the fact that the racial and cultural character of their country was being changed by third world immigration in order to divide and disposes them. His warning has come to pass.

A longtime reader, GW, recalls:

“Back in the 1980s and 1990s,, Doug Collins had been a highly-regarded commentator. He had worked for the CBC and the Vancouver Sun et cetera. He was writing a column in the North Vancouver news. He was “well in” with the media figures in B. C. He started with re-thinking the sudden flood of non-white immigrants; he then went off on a tangent = criticizing the Jews and Israelis. Even though Izzy Asper directed Collins to be fired, his editor at the N. Van News stood by him.

At age 70, he went in to the Lionsgate hospital for a minor surgery. But didn’t come out alive.

No doubt in my mind that Doug Collins was murdered. Even though he was a relatively minor ‘influencer”, he had tremendous credibility here at that time. When he started commenting – reasonably and politely – about “Race”, the pack of media jackals turned on him. He was hauled before the so called Human Rights tribunal for ‘anti semite-ism’. That dragged on for years, never concluded

Collins had served as a Sergeant in the British Army in WW2. Escaped repeatedly from prisoner of war camps. He was on good terms with folks here, particularly, judges who’d risen up the legal profession ladder in Vancouver. “

Please summarize Doug Collin’s message in his book, “Immigration: The Destruction of English Canada”

Thought for 17s

Doug Collins’ 1979 book Immigration: The Destruction of English Canada argues that post-1967 changes in Canadian immigration policy–especially under Pierre Trudeau’s Liberal governments–deliberately shifted the main sources of immigrants away from the UK and Europe toward the Third World, producing what he saw as a disastrous transformation that undermined the cultural character of English Canada.

Collins (a British-born Canadian journalist) presents this as an intentional process rather than mere administrative drift. He claims the policy aimed to remake English Canada into something closer to a “miniature UN,” disregarding the preferences of the existing population.

Key elements of his case, drawn from contemporary accounts and summaries of the book, include:

Before the late 1960s, immigration predominantly came from traditional European (especially British) sources. After the 1967 points system and subsequent policy shifts under Trudeau (elected 1968), non-European (“Third World”) sources rapidly became dominant. Collins documents how, by the mid-to-late 1970s, well-qualified applicants from traditional source countries were sometimes rejected while others entered via family reunification, nominations, or other channels that he viewed as poorly controlled or abused.

He criticizes successive immigration ministers for repeated “blunders” that allowed exploitation of the system (including illegal entry followed by accommodation).

Politicians, he argues, refused to correct course because they feared losing “the ethnic vote.”

Public opinion was largely ignored. Collins cites polls from the 1960s-1970s and a joint parliamentary study (1973-1975) showing majority support for tighter restrictions; the government proceeded anyway.

He contrasts the political responsiveness to organized minority advocacy with the relative silence of English Canadians. The result, in his view, was cultural and demographic change harmful to English Canada’s cohesion and character.

He focuses mainly on the period roughly 1967-1979 and the effects outside Quebec. He is scathing about official multiculturalism rhetoric (e.g., quoting a Multiculturalism Minister denying the existence of founding peoples) and about the gap between liberal self-congratulation and practical outcomes.

The book is short (around 147 pages), polemical, and “pulls no punches.” Contemporary descriptions note that it documents the rapid change in population mix and concludes that only strong political leadership speaking for English Canada–or massive public protest–could reverse the direction.

Collins was a controversial figure later accused of racism, antisemitism, and related views in his newspaper columns; the book itself is framed by supporters as a well-documented critique of policy failure and elite disregard for majority preferences. Primary full-text access is limited (it is long out of print), so detailed chapter-by-chapter reconstruction relies on secondary summaries such as those published by Immigration Watch Canada. The core thesis remains a warning that rapid, non-traditional mass immigration without regard for cultural continuity or public consent would erode the English-Canadian identity that had previously defined much of the country. “
