Canada's demographic replacement in one chart

in canada •  5 years ago 

I was working on a video on #Wexit and how it would (or would not) address demographic replacement. I needed the population breakdown by province or territory, but the Wikipedia page ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Canada ) still has the 2011 data. I had to spend quite some time going through Stats Canada website to find the data from 2016. And then, with the 2011 breakdown still in front of me, it was hard not to notice the sharp increase in visible minority population from coast to coast. Many provinces saw much higher increase than the 22.5% national average. I took the trouble to punch the data into an Excel spreadsheet and here's what I got:

The dotted line is the national average: 22.5% for visible minorities, 19.5% for Aboriginals (that probably includes many people with some distant Aboriginal ancestry who now prefer to identify as Aboriginals) and -0.3% for Whites. Yes, in these 5 years, Canada's #White population actually went down by about 75,000. That's in spite of extremely high immigration. No wonder nobody took the trouble to update the Wikipedia page. Let alone - to compare the tables for 2011 and 2016 and to calculate the increase for each province.

To make things worse - most of these changes actually took place BEFORE TRUDEAU. When the 2016 Census was taken, Trudeau had only been in power for mere 7 or 8 months. So these are not yet Syrian refugees and illegals sneaking through the unprotected borders. These are foreign students, temporary workers, provincial nominees... This is mostly Harper's Canada, not Trudeau's. This is Fiscal Conservatism and Civic Nationalism in action.

As for #Wexit well - the numbers are nowhere near encouraging. In fact, since Wexit will take with it the lion share of Canada's Aboriginal population, #WesternCanada will only be 67% White as opposed to 75% in the rest of Canada. If #Alberta was to separate as an independent country - it would be only 70% White. And again, this is 2016. Now the situation must be much worse. In other words, merely drawing a border line between Manitoba and Ontario won't stop White decline and won't create a state in which Whites would be safe from demographic replacement.
