In the first of three 2025 McGill Max Bell Lectures, Tony Keller explores how Canada’s unique immigration history made modern Canada. This country has always wanted immigrants, but for most of history it chose them based not on education and ability, but race and national origin. Beginning in the 1960s, however, Canada revolutionized immigration, opening it to anyone from anywhere without discrimination, putting an increasing emphasis on skilled arrivals, and taking in relatively more immigrants than most developed countries, all of which was popular with Canadians.

In the second of three 2025 McGill Max Bell Lectures, Tony Keller explores how modern Canada built an economically successful, politically popular immigration system. For more than a quarter century, Canada enjoyed a national consensus around immigration, even as immigration was inflaming politics on both the left and the right in Europe and the United States. Why did Canada avoid these immigration conflicts? And what went wrong after 2015?
