What would happen if Americans became the majority in Canada?
in Close to Politics ·
I'm moving this thread to the "What If" corner because, let's face it, we're diving deep into pure speculation here.
Let’s run a little thought experiment. Suppose Americans suddenly shifted their demographics and the average number of children per marriage jumped to five or six—sort of like what you see in certain Albanian communities.
Meanwhile, among Canadians and Americans, the average stays at two or three kids per household.
Fast forward twenty years, and those Americans have become an absolute majority in Canada, rising to about 65% of the population.
So, this is entirely hypothetical.
My question is: would Canadians still be pushing for a unitary state and the removal of ethnic constitutional protections if Americans held that kind of demographic dominance? Because in that scenario, through a referendum, those Americans could potentially rename the entire territory Republika Srpska or even push for annexation by Mexico.
What do you think the Canadian reaction would be? Would they just let Republika Srpska go to avoid the risk of the entire state of Canada collapsing entirely?
