Canadian immigration levels are currently at their highest since the era just before the First World War, when mass immigration was used to homestead the prairies. Except these immigrants will not be moving to the prairies, and instead will most likely be living around the already overcrowded areas of Toronto and Vancouver, places where many Canadians struggle to afford to live due to high prices and housing shortages. Just last year, Canada brought in 401,000 new permanent residents. One result of this influx, according to new projections from Statistics Canada, is that Canada will be home to as many as 50 million people by 2041. It’s twice as high as the Canadian population as recently as 1980. It also means that over the next 19 years, we’ll be adding enough new Canadians to equal the present-day equivalent of all of Western Canada (the combined population of Alberta, B.C., Saskatchewan and Manitoba was 11 million in the last census https://nationalpost.com/news/canad...eople-half-of-them-immigrant-families-by-2041 FIRST READING: Canada to have 50 million people, half of them immigrant families, by 2041 According to Statistic Canada projections, Canada will add 13 million new citizens over the next 19 years, Tristin Hopper, September 19, 2022, National Post related older thread: Immigrants do not earn enough to even afford housing "Canada housing unaffordable for immigrants", by Florence Gibbs, March 16, 2012 "Housing harder to find for newcomers, study shows", CBC News, March 14, 2012 Article is about the Canadian government paying for housing costs because migrants do not earn enough to afford it, in the areas they have settled to. "latest study undertaken by UBC. Finding houses in Canada is really difficult for immigrants, states professor of geography at UBC, Daniel Hiebert. ... majority of immigrants including refugees in Canada spent half of their earnings on housing, findings of the study involving 600 immigrants in Montreal, Vancouver and Toronto show. ... The study analyzed that average income of immigrants forming part of the recent UBC survey was below $20,000 while average income in cities was around $69,000. And average prices of houses in Vancouver are nothing less than one million dollars."
I'd guess that is probably the reason immigrants come to these particular areas in the first place. Because plenty of low level jobs are available to them there because Canadians who would have done those jobs left because they could not afford to live nearby anymore, due to the very high housing costs. related thread, focusing very much on Toronto: The rise of the professional class in big cities - and others getting pushed out YouTube videos in thread: Cities in Crisis, The Agenda with Steve Paikin, May 15, 2017 Has urban revival caused a crisis of success?, PBS NewsHour, June 1, 2017
Canada gets what Canada deserves. Canada is going to regress to middle eastern standards fairly abruptly as that will be their majority voting block. Cananastahn
Canuckistan really broke when they started requiring passports for kids from Detroit to cross the bridge and buy beer.
If more population is such an asset, why is India and Africa so poor? A huge percentage of their populations live in poverty. In the 1970's India embarked on a desperate policy to try to reduce their population growth, viewing it as the biggest threat to their economic future. (The policy even included poor women being tricked and pressured into receiving tubal ligations so they could not have more children) And then there is the phenomena that many of these Third World countries that are sending population to countries like the U.S. and Canada still have growing population numbers, despite the massive emigration out of their countries. Keep in mind that, while Canada does have a huge area, there is only a small percentage of that area where people want to live. Simple statistics illustrate this. 70% of the Canadian population lives south of the 49th parallel. 7 out of the 10 Canadian provinces are completely north of the 49th parallel. 66 percent of the Canadian population lives within 100 km United States border. This area represents only about 4% of Canada's entire territory. More than 90 percent of the Canadian population lives within 150 miles (241 km) of the United States border. Keep in mind this is still shorter than the distance between Edmonton and Calgary, the two biggest cities in Alberta. Even though Canada has a large and vast land area, the vast majority of that land area is not very habitable. (It's too cold or too far north with very long winters) So mass influx of immigration could still lead to overcrowding. Adding lots more people would require a vast and hugely expensive infrastructure investment in construction of new cities. Something I guarantee you is not going to happen.
About a year ago the gifted Barry Wunsch from Alberta had a dream where he was in Toronto.... and he was running... .and he was scared......... There was a massive Tsunami wave chasing him but.... the Holy Spirit showed him that this was a Tsunami Wave of people coming into the kingdom of heaven....... I can't remember which video that exactly was... but at least this will introduce you to him..... in my opinion he is truly gifted and hears the Holy Spirit really well...... Messiah Yeshua - Jesus is in a game of chess with Satan..... There are eight billion unlimited movement variables in this game of chess..... and Jesus never loses a game of chess with eight billion unlimited movement variables.......... Jesus will reach out to one hundred and twenty eight nations...... for starters.... .from this Tsunami Wave of souls being saved that will occur in Toronto........
Prairies are cold....lotsa these immigrants migrate from warm climates....Vancouver and Toronto more appealing.
