Older, 70% white, plunging fertility and lost faith: Who Canada is now​

A deep dive into the population data paints a surprising picture of Canadian society and households Numbers can tell a story. Canada is home to 41.58 million people, according to the latest population estimates, and the average age was 41.7. At the time of the last census, just over half were women and girls, and just under half were men and boys. Of the nearly 30.5 million people 15 and older, 100,815 (0.33 per cent) were transgender or nonbinary. The average household size was 2.4 people. Five per cent of the population — 1.8 million people — self-identified as Indigenous. Almost one-quarter, or 8.4 million people, were immigrants, many hailing from the three leading places of birth: India, the Philippines and China. Of the 450-plus ethnic or cultural origins reported, “Canadian” was tops at 5.7 million people.

Immigration patterns are shifting with nearly two-thirds of recent immigrants born in Asia,including the Middle East. Nearly 70 per cent of Canadians — just over 25 million people — reported being white, making the population the majority almost everywhere in the country, except for Vancouver (42 per cent), Toronto (40.7 per cent), the Northwest Territories (37.9 per cent) and Nunavut (10 per cent).
More than 95 per cent of visible minorities (non-white and non-Indigenous) lived in one of Canada’s 41 large urban centres. Toronto was home to the largest populations of South Asian, Chinese, Black, Filipino, West Asian, Latin American, Southeast Asian and Korean people, while the country’s largest share of the Arab population (35.5 per cent of that group) lived in Montreal.

Indigenous peoples were the fastest-growing group, with an eight per cent increase in people identifying as First Nations, Inuit or Métis between 2016 and 2021, compared with 5.4 per cent growth for the non-Indigenous population. They were also the youngest population group, with 41.2 per cent of Indigenous people under the age of 25 compared to 27.3 per cent of the non-Indigenous population.

Canadians are losing their religion like never before. More than one-third (roughly 12.6 million people) reported being non-religious, a proportion that more than doubled in 20 years (16.5 per cent in 2001 to 34.6 per cent in 2021). Most religious Canadians reported being Christian, at 53.3 per cent, but their numbers are shrinking, down from 77.1 per cent in 2001. Meanwhile, the proportion of the population who identified as Muslim (Islam was the second-most reported religion), Hindu or Sikh more than doubled in 20 years.
Canada’s aging population is accelerating. There are now more Canadian seniors 65-plus (8.1 million) than children 14 and under (6.3 million), according to 2025 population estimates. Population aging goes hand-in-hand with fertility, and in 2024, Canada’s fertility rate reached a record low of 1.25 births per woman. Most of the country’s population growth — roughly 97 per cent — is through immigration. As society continues to age, immigration is expected to drive 100 per cent of growth by 2032.

Lower than 1.25 births per woman by 2032 = 100% of population growth from immigration.

It would be nice if the part of the multicultural mosaic Canadians have placed their children in could actually have a sane conversation about the falling birthrate but alas immigration gets in the way of such social conversations.

If only we had any leaders with the balls to do this.

It's a nation of senior citizens who are happy to pluck food from the mouths of infants.

A people who behave this way have no future.

COVID was the black pill suppository for me on this. Boomers were willing to imprison their grandchildren at a critical point in their social development, jab them with mystery juice and rob them for life with more debt just to maybe have a couple more years.

A society that would sacrifice it's youth like this deserves no future.

I will never forgive the people of Canada for their crimes against my children. My grievances will not be addressed so I am quite ok with the 51st state talk.

Doesn't matter to me who runs this country anymore but watching liberally minded people become American against their will is going to be glorious.

I regret ever doning a uniform for this country.

Just think of the surviving Vietnam draft dodgers being folded back into America.

There is NO way canada is 70% white. Look around FFS.

 

[BeerAndOil]

The 70% white includes all the seniors that are warehoused in lodges and villas while they wait for the end. And of course their vote matters just as much as yours does.

Agreed that the people that are out and about and actually participating in society is now <50% white.

 

[ChevChelios]

Given that most official statistics are necessarily fraudulent when they come from a declining and increasingly authoritarian state, I'd have to agree. If most of Canada's population is in the cities and many parts of them are overwhelmingly brown, I wouldn't be surprised if we're already nearing the majority nonwhite mark but that the government doesn't want to panic older white voters about it just yet

 

[Trudeaus coke dealer]

The government will keep telling people of the declining white population 50 years after the last white is gone.

There is no genocide when there is still millions of us on paper.
