A Canadian group is being called racist for pushing back against immigration, but they have legitimate grounds to believe the country would benefit from mass deportations.
Statistics Canada’s “immigrant generation” measure shows 44% of Canadians are first- or second-generation, either immigrants themselves or Canadian-born children of at least one immigrant parent. This includes 26.4% first generation and 17.6% second generation, with the combined share projected to reach 49.8% to 54.3% by 2041. Canada was home to 755 mosques as of December 2024; no reliably sourced count exists for 30 years earlier for comparison.
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) reports the incidence of social assistance among immigrants is stable at 6%, below the national average of 8%. On crime, no Canadian government or think-tank source, left or right, publishes data broken down by immigrant origin the way Denmark and Sweden do.
