        You are smart. I believe you can figure it out for yourself.

        I am lazy and don’t want to rehash a bunch of sourced technical data with reasoned analysis and further explanations just to be dismissed with more bullshit.

        I will give you one for free from memory. The decline in the Canadian Dollar from 1:1 to today. That start date was clearly cherry picked because a wider lens will show the historical norm for the Canadian to USD is around 70-something cents. Frequently moving in a band from mid 60s to low 80s. Feel free to look up 1950 to 2025.

        If you want the data to fit your narrative of decline, that’s what you do. It pretends to be data driven analysis, but it drips of bullshit propaganda.

          Isnt it usually the case historically that when oil prices spiked our dollar value spiked, any idea why that ceased happening?

          I’d assumed because we have a muted business investment into Canada, which ties in with the other charts.

            In short, Dutch disease. The period of parity and beyond was oil driven, but also because Canadian non-energy economy was also humming, while the US was stumbling domestically.

            Today, high oil prices exist, but we don’t have the export infra to fetch top dollar. (Not the US anyways). Plus our non-energy economy is taking a Trump tarrif induced shitkicking.

    #6: White Population
    In 1971, 96% of the Canadian population was white.
    Today, it is approaching 50%

    Racist unsourced garbage is racist.

      I assumed it was talking about the lack of births of Canadians, due to all the other charts, housing shortages, and wage debasement. What makes you assume its racism?

        It’s explicitly saying a decreasing number of whites is part of the decline of Canada. That seems pretty racist.

        You’re right, that other stats talk about legit concerns (affordability, etc) but this one puts the poster’s motives into question.

      also, where is better than Canada right now? The US isn’t better, I can tell you that. Most of Europe is struggling, too.

        Many people do believe in per country caps, to prevent things like the extortion in Surrey via organized crime, or a loss of existing culture. I dont know if culture is based on race as much as it is their country, Indians born in Canada are going to be different than those born in other country I assume.
