I was forwarded this video in the Daily Rake telegram chat yesterday.
The claim is that 25% of the Canadian population is immigrants. Let’s see if we can verify this.
CBC:
Almost a quarter of Canada’s people were or are immigrants or permanent residents — who now account for their largest share of the population in the country’s history, according to new census data from Statistics Canada.
Statistics Canada reports that 8.3 million people, or 23 per cent of the population, fit into this category, topping the previous record of 22.3 per cent in 1921.
Immigrants and permanent residents now make up a larger share of Canada’s population than they do in any other G7 country.
Canada’s population grew by 5.4 per cent from 2016 to 2021. New immigrants accounted for 71.1 per cent of that growth.
“If these trends continue, based on Statistics Canada’s recent population projections, immigrants could represent from 29.1 per cent to 34 per cent of the population of Canada by 2041,” the report said.
Before anyone makes this about “muh Liberals,” remember that Conservatives under Harper tripled the number of immigrants to Canada from about one hundred thousand per year to over three hundred thousand. Nobody actually asked for this, but they did it anyway, because their sole purpose is to stab you in the back.
Pierre Poilievre doesn’t even pretend to not be for mass migration of third worlders into your community. In fact, he leads with it, as if that’s something voters want.
Importance to the labour force
From 2016 to 2021, immigrants accounted for four-fifths of Canada’s labour force growth. A large share of recent immigrants were selected for their ability to contribute to Canada’s economy.
Let me translate that from bullshitese to English for you. “We need more foreigners to destroy wages in this country.”
Boy am I ever glad that people in our thing have moved past the “antifas pretend to be against capitalism, so we should be for it,” gay op.
Country of origin
Asian-born immigrants accounted for a record share of recent immigrants, rising from just 12.1 per cent in 1971 to 62 per cent in 2021. The number of new immigrants born in Europe, meanwhile, has continued its 50-year decline and fell to just 10.1 per cent in 2021 from a high of 61.1 per cent in 1971.
India was the leading source country for new Asian immigrants, contributing 18.6 per cent of the total number arriving in Canada between 2016 and 2021.
“The last time that such a high proportion of immigrants came from a single place of birth was during the 1971 census, when 20.9 per cent of all recent immigrants came from the United Kingdom,” Statistics Canada said.
Between 2016 and 2021, 218,430 new refugees were admitted to Canada as permanent residents. More than one quarter of those, 61,000, came from Syria.
“Iraq, 15,505, Eritrea, 13,965, Afghanistan, 9,490, and Pakistan, 7,810, were the other most common countries of birth for new refugees from 2016 to 2021,” the report said.
Academic Ricardo Duchesne had a great bit of evidence way back in the day that Canada was discriminating against White immigrants. I don’t think that’s even controversial today, and our ZOG regime literally does “intersectional immigration,” where not being White gives someone an advantage.
Getting back to the original video, we see that the policy of White Replacement migration is not even remotely popular. Even beyond the anti-White racial agenda, migrants bring clear and obvious negative impact that these migrants have brought to our standards of living. Nobody actually believes that immigrants improve the quality of our lives, or that “diversity is our strength.”
And of course, the cowards at CTV disable dislikes, even though you already need a browser extension to see them in the first place.
I’ve long known that Canada had the highest per capita net immigration in the world — but these figures show just how spectacular the self-immolation is.
Insanity.
