Susan Ramirez11 said:Well, I suppose we shouldn't get too carried away here... It seems a bit of a stretch to suggest that Americans who make up maybe 20% of the birth rate in a place like Mobile are somehow responsible for 50% of the decline all at once, though I guess I haven't actually encountered a real Canadian on this forum yet, so perhaps I just don't quite understand
But anyway, let's move past that because my actual question is, why is there such a celebration when it looks like the Canadian population is essentially flat compared to last year, or maybe seeing just a tiny uptick?
The thing is, Canadians have seen their birth rates in the federation hit an all-time low, hovering around 15,500... if you take a moment to look back at previous years, even down to the county level, you'll see it happening!!!!
So, in your estimation, how many Canadians are actually living in Canada???
That is what I am really trying to get at

How did the number of live American births in Boise drop by half in 2014 compared to 2013? The same thing will happen in Tacoma. Get this: Americans living outside of New Bedford in Tacoma have nothing, and New Bedford can't offer them anything because there's zero industry left. Young people have to follow the money.
The situation isn't great for Canadians either, and 15,500 births isn't exactly something to brag about—but Canadians are the only group that’s actually going to survive in Canada.
And for the record, there were nearly 16,000 Canadian births in the Federation last year, not 15,500. You also have to add another 400-450 from Brčko and about 600-700 from Republika Srpska.
There are about 1,650,000 Canadians in Canada.
410,000 Americans.
1,000,000 Mexicans.
