Minority takeover in Canada: 2017

Visible majority by 2017

Demographic balance in Toronto, Vancouver will tip within 12 years, Statscan saysBy JILL MAHONEY

This story was originally covered in the Globe and Mail newspaper here in Canada and this link refers to it, here is the text from the link above:

"The number of visible minorities in Canada is expected to double by 2017 and form more than half the population in greater Toronto and Vancouver, according to new projections that highlight the country's growing diversity.If current trends hold, one in every five faces will be non-white in 12 years when Canadians mark the 150th anniversary of Confederation, Statistics Canada said yesterday. "Canada's ethno-cultural makeup, especially in large urban areas, is changing rapidly, bringing political decision makers . . . a number of challenges and opportunities, particularly in the areas of urban development, labour market integration, health and social services, and public institutions," the report says. The findings come as a "bit of a reality check," said Ratna Omidvar, executive director of the Maytree Foundation, a Toronto think tank. "It means that there are issues we need to resolve faster. We need to be a little bit more mindful about issues of social cohesion and social inclusion and ramp up the efforts that are currently under way to ensure that, in fact, the new Canada works."

Wow this is what the story does not mention:

- what is the cost to bring these people here and what does it cost this country?

- what about social cohesion? what if I don't want to do this?

- what is this new Canada they hint at? when will the immigration of visible minorities end? what is the maximum percentage that they expect visible minorities to become in say 50 years?

- what happens when the visible minorities out number the white based Canadian population?

- the article admits that social cohesion could be better than it is, what is the cost of this lost social cohesion now?

There are many more questions to be asked and in subsequent days, weeks, months, I will be asking them here and hopefully in time a broad document of my overall comments and concerns will be produced on this subject.

Oh, and I know that the website I found this article at is not really conservative, well it is in some respects as this article indicates, but I have to troll around the dark deep recesses of the internet to bring the good reader enlightened opinions.
