TORONTO, October 2, 2002 (LSN.ca) - A prominent economics reporter with the Globe and Mail is one of the few Canadian opinion-makers to have said anything at all about the failure of Canadians to have children, historically a key sign of a doomed culture.
"Canadian couples are not having enough kids even to replace themselves -- and have not for more than three decades now." "So long as we Canadians don't replace ourselves, we put ourselves on a path that's almost impossible to alter," Little writes. In addition, he challenges the conventional wisdom (shared by all the federal political parties) that immigrants will somehow fill the gap: "More immigration won't change the underlying pattern," Little concludes.

I would assume that since so many Russians are showing up here that their numbers are decreasing over there. How do you know if Russians have moved next door? A clue is if their dog is named Natasha. Can't tell by their English, which is often above average for Americans.
You seem to have forgotten the most significant factor.
As I said above, "Giovanni Battista Montini was right!!!"
Of course, Giovanni Battista Montini is otherwise known as Pope Paul VI, best known for his encyclical Humanae Vitae, which predicted (prophecied?) all this mess in the first place.
Unfortunately, with Canada's refugee and immigration policies, it's starting to look like a cesspool of third-world castoffs. In a just a few decades, Canada will become a nation of itinerant Muslims, derelict Africans and a hodge-podge of Asian drifters.

Over 40 Million Abortions There have been more than 40 million abortions in the twenty six years since the U.S. Supreme Court legalized unrestricted abortion on January 22, 1973. Except when noted, the following statistics are based on research published by the Alan Guttmacher Institute, special research affiliate of Planned Parenthood Federation of America--the nation's largest provider and promoter of abortion. Estimates for 1997 and 1998 are based on trends from previous years. In the past, AGI has estimated a possible 3-6% rate of underreporting. The following uses the lower figure. Year Annual Number of Abortions 1973 744,600 1974 898,600 1975 1,034,200 1976 1,179,300 1977 1,316,700 1978 1,409,600 1979 1,497,700 1980 1,553,900 1981 1,577,300 1982 1,573,900 1983 1,575,000 1984 1,577,200 1985 1,588,600 1986 1,574,000 1987 1,559,100 1988 1,590,800 1989 1,566,900 1990 1,608,600 1991 1,556,500 1992 1,528,900 1993 1,500,000 1994 1,431,0000 1995 1,363,690 1996 1,365,730 1997 1,328,000 1998 1,328,000 Estimate 1999 1,328,000 Estimate 2000 1,328,000 Estimate 2001 1,328,000 Estimate Total abortions from1973 to 1998 -- 38,010,378 (Based on numbers and estimates reported by the Alan Guttmacher Institute 1973-1996,with NRLC estimates of 1,365,730 for 1997 and 1998. AGI estimates a possible 3% underreporting rate, which is factored into the total.) Source for statistics for 1973 through 1992: Stanley K.

Exactly. They don't have to do a damn thing, just keep reproducing at the rate they do now and within 100 years they will control every European country.
You hit the nail on the head. It's getting hard to find a genuine Canadian these days. They're getting overrun with Muslims, Blacks, Orientals, etc.
I would argue further that the one factor shared by all these nations is the dominatation by socialism, with nationalized health care, high taxes, government schools, ad nauseum.
For this reason alone, the corrupt and intensely evil democrat party must be fought at every front, at all times, for the rest of our lives.
I am a mother of three. My husband and I made some bad choices early in our marriage that resulted in me having to work to help support the family. Because of my skills, I was able to rise up in salary. Now, because my husband's job is more stable than in the past, we can afford to have me work part-time. My employer said no. Either full=time or I can quit. While I am working on being able to quit (we're expecting #4 in the Spring), and we have cut expenses, we would not be able to make ends meet on one salary at this point.
Employers should better help working moms. Those of us who want to stay home sometimes can't, at least not right now. Government should help families by not making it more expensive to have kids, not taxing us to death, and allowing us to get a tax credit private education because the public schools are so bad.
Anyway, these are my pet peeves. I've given ten years of my life to my company, and they won't bend and allow me to work part-time. They said that my work should be my number one priority. I told them my family was.
