Crippled census still has interesting details

So the job of killing the census as a source of information is still an ongoing one for the ReformaTories.

This is exactly the sort of article that could attraction toxic comments. Canadians old enough for their expectations to have jelled by the Centennial would have had even less contact with foreign-borns, particularly ones from Asia and Africa, than Americans. I remember the timorous and xenophobic discussions that went on back when we liberalized immigration here.

The debut of Canada's controversial census replacement survey shows there are more foreign-born people in the country than ever before, at a proportion not seen in almost a century.

Here's an interesting little chart.



I wonder why Americans stopped moving here? Is it just the end of the Vietnam War?

Obvious point is obvious: the graph is in percentages; just because the percentage of immigrants who are USan has come down doesn't mean that the number of immigrants who are USan has done likewise.
