Not entirely related to the hotel, I hoisted this very good post by canuk Welfarebum from the comments -
In the early 1990s, I remember the Government of Canada suddenly starting a campaign of "Canada is a multicultural society!" out of nowhere. We all looked at each other - almost all of us of white European ancestry and melted into a peaceful, homogeneous Canadian culture - and asked, "We are? We're multicultural? What does that mean? Okay. I guess."
What we didn't know is that the "Canada is a multicultural society" was, in fact, just artillery bombardment of our positions to soften us up before the big invasion.
After we were happily and naively accepting this narrative and wearing our multiculturalism pins, the planes began to land. Wave after wave after wave after wave. Our communities were transformed from peaceful English speaking "Leave it to Beaver" neighborhoods to China practically overnight.
Since the "We're a multicultural society" narrative was already universally accepted, we found we couldn't object to the takeover without being condemned by the Liberal media.
It's a classic and brilliant Liberal strategy and it's still in operation today. Start by getting everyone to buy into the idea that racism, sexism, extremist is everywhere and is bad. "Systemic racism!" Later on, we learn that WE are the racists, sexist, and extremist and are, by definition, the bad guys who need to be cancelled.
I remember the "America is a melting pot, Canada is a mosaic" thing, too. Everyone is separate-but-equal in Canada, unlike in the states where they're unified.
Yep, as I recall that was the premise of the argument. In fact I remember it this far along specifically because I thought it was so stupid - every American city has a Chinatown or a Little Italy or a whatever. Acting like America was some sort of homogenous mass of people while Canada is exceptional for keeping everyone apart.... I mean, unless they meant the pepsis having their own province to run roughshod over non-French-speaking people in. (Sorry, I know some Italian immigrants whose kids got fucked over by language police busybodies, I'm slightly bitter.)
Hey, I'm an English speaker here, I know Quebec's language laws have been... hard on non-Frenchies. Sorry. No need to apologize for bitterness over it, not like I wrote them up. I see where the laws were coming from, and I get why, but they weren't implemented in the most ideal of ways. Preserving culture and ideology are important, and preserving language is the foremost way to protect against the most obvious assault against them, just look at any postmodernist English-speaker from Gender Studies, and you can see how powerful the destruction of language is in destroying a culture, and why it's important to protect it.
Doesn't mean there wasn't people trampled in the process, though, or that their way of doing it accomplished that objective. I get the reasoning, but it doesn't eliminate the externalities.
It's the reptilians having a meeting of their world domination. Or the Bilderberg group. Or whatever other conspiracy sounding globalist boogeyman there is. Which is probably not far from the truth, as I wouldn't be at all shocked if it's a meeting of the globalists.

Same thing happened in Britain, and while it began decades earlier, it didn't reach its full, suicidal pace until the 90's, under Blair.
Enoch Powell is proven more and more correct every passing year.
My high school social studies book called Canada a "patchwork quilt" of ethnicities.
I have not been in high school for a long time.
