TORONTO, April 24, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Plummeting birth rates have resulted in the closure of over 300 schools in Ontario and half of the province's school boards have 90,000 fewer students than they did six years ago. 300 schools are slated to be closed in the province simply because there are not enough children to go into them according to a report by People for Education.
"Much of the funding that school boards receive is based on numbers of students," the report said. "As a result, fewer students equals less funding, fewer programs and, in many cases, closing schools." The losses in this report are in addition to the 110 school closures in Ontario between 2004 and 2005.
Four years ago, University of Toronto economics professor David Foot called then-record low birth rate the "revenge of the birth control pill." Foot, the author of 1996's Boom, Bust and Echo, a book on Canadian demographics, said the widespread use of artificial contraception was responsible for fewer children being born in the 1960s and 1970s. This left fewer women of child-bearing age for the next generation, today's mothers.
The number of live births for every 1,000 people, plunged by 25.4 per cent between 1993 and 2005. Despite slight increases, Canada's total fertility rate in 2005 was 1.54 children per woman, an increase of only .01 per cent, but which, nevertheless, is the highest rate since 1998. The latest report from People for Education estimates that there will be 500,000 fewer students in Canada's schools in the next 10 years.
The Ontario Ministry of Education has predicted that by 2010, total elementary and secondary school enrolment will drop by nearly 100,000 students from 2002 numbers.

Liberals have been preaching zero population growth for years.
Of course, the Mohammedan world is pumping out babies like there’s no tomorrow.
Welcome to your Future, Western Man.
The declining birthrate can be laid at the doorstep of out-of-control abortion on demand.
Profitable Canadian abortion mills murder an entire generation of Ontario babies.
The shortfall will be filled with IslamoNazi immigrants.

Flame me if you want, but here's an example. Women are acculturated to believe that there are other things to do than raise children.
Case in point: I was on a merit badge bike ride with my 13-year old son. We live in San Diego county and bike riding is really popular out here because of the weather. We saw countless young women out riding also, dressed to the nines in the gear that these racers wear, pumping away at great speed.
I will wager you that all of these women were taught at their high schools and colleges that their fulfillment in the their 20s and 30s is health, exercise, accomplishing something for themselves ... anything but becoming a mother. I will also wager that all of these relatively young women have no children.
I have long believed that the culture -- and education -- is as much as fault as birth control.
And, for the record, Mrs Tom H and I have three children between 8 and 15. Would've had more if we started sooner.

The replacement rate for the human species is 2.1. This means that the average woman gives birth to 2.1 babies over the course of her life, and the population is stable (barring immigration).
Canadians as we used to know them are extinct in 50 years.
You're only talking about white females. Obviously, Hispanic women do not have the same attitude.
The simple truth is the demonisation of pregnancy and reproduction, and sexual perversion, that’s led to all this.
Women are made to fear pregnancy from the onset of the teen years (for valid reasons) which carries over into their adult lives.
And then, people wonder.
Maybe some illegals from Mexico can pump up the Canadian population... PC types love illegals.
Illegals don't count when it comes to the hysteria about too many children.

Same sex marriage contributes to low birth rates too. Don’t they have that up there?
2.1 per women due to untimely deaths, after all.

OHIP (Ontario Health Insurance Plan) is efficiently exterminating the human population of Canada by covering unlimited baby murders but not fertility treatments.
That’s the whole point. The Earth doesn’t belong to us humans, or so what the radical environmentalists believe.
