Steve Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 OTTAWA (Reuters) - One in five people in Canada last year was born in another country, the highest proportion since the 1930s, according to census data released on Tuesday. The foreign-born population grew four times faster than the Canadian-born population between 2001 and 2006, as an estimated 1.1 million immigrants made the country their home, Statistics Canada said. Only one-fifth of those newcomers spoke either English or French, Canada's two official languages. Chinese languages were the third most common mother tongue, after English and French... The majority of newcomers -- 58 percent -- came from Asia including the Middle East Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flashermac Posted December 6, 2007 Report Share Posted December 6, 2007 Simple solution. Ban all immigrants from living within 500 miles of the US borders until they've been in Canada for at least 10 years. That should reduce the number significantly.
