Only 9% of Canadians want more immigrants.

Even without half the world showing up on its border, Canada is being demographically transformed at a record rate.

Canada came close to breaking the highest population growth rate in any quarter this July to September when it reported 430,635 new residents in the country.

Are Canadians having a lot of babies? Not so much.

Canada’s total population growth for the first nine months of 2023 has already exceeded the total growth for any other full-year period since Confederation in 1867, including 2022, when there was record growth, it said.

Canada’s current population sits at 40,528,396. It has seen its population grow by 1,030,378 people since January…

International migration was responsible for 96 per cent of the population growth in that time frame, the agency said. The remaining four per cent was the result of natural increase, or the difference between the number of births and deaths.

As a result of the invasion, Canadians can no longer afford housing.

Multiple housing experts, including a senior official at Fraser’s own federal housing agency, have said that the Liberals’ immigration policy has driven up both house prices and rent.

Home prices in Canada now average C$750,000 ($550,000;£435,000) and rent for Canadians has risen 22% in the last two years.

In 2022, the country grew by over a million people in the span of one year for the first time ever – a growth largely driven by newcomers. Last year Canada’s population hit a record of 40 million people.

And Canadians want to opt out.

Compared to March 2022, the percentage of Canadians who said they want the country to welcome more immigrants than it has in the past had fallen from 17 per cent to nine per cent.

That’s less than 1 in 10. But it doesn’t matter when they vote for a mass migration government.
