In 1980, Canada and the United States were essentially tied in GDP per capita, and Canada ranked near the top globally (6th in 1981). By 2026, U.S. per-capita GDP has pulled ahead by roughly 56%, while Canada has slipped to 12th or lower among advanced economies. Productivity Growth: Canada’s economic growth relies increasingly on population expansion rather than output or technological investment.
Canadian growth "relies increasingly on population expansion" -- and that's not kids born to Canadians!
The TFR (Total Fertility Rate, the average number of children a woman would have over her lifetime if current age-specific birth rates stayed constant) statistics are awful! Replacement TFR is about 2.1:
| Group | Year | TFR | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Canadian-born, non-Indigenous | 2021 | 1.29 | Own-children method* |
| Canada overall | 2021 | 1.31–1.35 | |
| Canada overall | 2024 | 1.25 | Record low |
| Non-Indigenous overall | 2021 | 1.34 | |
| Indigenous | 2021 | 1.54 | Still higher, but falling |
| Immigrants | 2021 | 1.42 | Also falling toward the native-born rate |
| Canadian-born + non-Indigenous | After 2021 | 1.20 | No official StatCan TFR. Inferred from the later national drop and 42% of 2024 births to foreign-born mothers. Likely low 1.2s |
* The own-children method estimates fertility from a census or survey instead of birth registrations. It matches young children in a household to their mother (usually the adult woman they live with), then uses the mother’s age and the child’s age to reconstruct how many births occurred in recent years. Those reconstructed births are turned into age-specific fertility rates and a TFR. It is used when official birth records do not reliably identify groups such as Canadian-born vs immigrant or Indigenous vs non-Indigenous. Limits: it can miss children who died, were adopted, or do not live with their mother, so estimates are approximate rather than exact vital-statistics rates.
The Canadian Liberal government filling Canada with the Third World is their version of Obama’s Redistribution of Wealth , instead of the Liberals sending money to the third world they bring these people to Canada so the taxpayer can take care of them for the rest of their lives
