Interesting take on that welfare. I agree with the gyst of your reply.
But something I saw during Trump's campaign showed me that regardless of your skin color, people can bond over nationalism. You had folks with Mexican heritage commenting about "non-Americans" crossing the border and taking der jerbs. A lot of these folks were not born there, but because they were American citizens, that is how they self identified.

Same goes for Vancouver, where you have naturalized citizens from Hong Kong or China, who are against the fuer dai. Folks who immigrated here in the mid 2000's now complaining that they can't afford a house thanks to foreign ownership. These are folks who have a common enemy to their/out culture. Needless to say, a lot can be accomplished under the banner of nationalism, which is something that Canada lacks dearly.
