Geoff Russ: Sorry, Carney, but the idea that newcomers don’t bring hatreds with them is a fiction

More on values in right-leaning media, overly comparing to UK:
…If the prime minister means what he says, he should follow it up with action, such as instituting a Canadian values test for newcomers. It’s true that not every migrant will become an extremist or give a second thought to history. However, highly motivated individuals can have an outsized effect and it is the government’s duty to ensure that extremism does not continue to gain a foothold in this country.
The once-mighty Great Britain, currently racked by ethnic and religious violence caused in part by irresponsible mass immigration, is our future if Canada doesn’t abolish its myths about “blank slates.” People do not always forget the past when they get off an airplane.

Having listened to the speech, I interpreted that statement one of two ways, neither of which is literal.
The alternative interpretation, that the PM believes that newcomers don’t bring their hatreds with them, displays a naivety inconsistent with what I have seen thus far from the PM.
