Juno News - Canada’s Birth Rate is Collapsing

00:00:00.000 what's the most important and consequential issue facing the future of canada well it would not be

00:00:10.960 a stretch at all to point at canada's collapsing birth rates however if you are a keen observer of

00:00:16.640 canada's parliament you would notice that solving this issue doesn't seem to be a priority for

00:00:21.840 anyone when canada's collapsing birth rates are mentioned it is usually as a way to justify

00:00:28.080 high levels of mass immigration something that the canadian public has not consented to or it is

00:00:33.360 mentioned in regards to the collapsing use of the french language in quebec something i genuinely

00:00:38.000 sympathize with but this is a serious crisis in canada and the issue still seems to be taboo

00:00:44.000 the prime minister justin trudeau seems to have no concern about it and the opposition leader seems to

00:00:49.520 be in the exact same position no mention whatsoever about canada's falling birth rates now when you

00:00:55.600 break down the details even further the picture starts to look a lot worse the young male to young

00:01:01.600 female ratio in canada has now completely reversed in canada there are now 109 young men aged 20 to 24

00:01:10.560 for every 100 young females of the same age category so right around eight percent of young men in this

00:01:17.120 country will never find a mate you don't need to be a genius to understand the consequences of that

00:01:22.800 furthermore the average age of marriage is increasing and the marriage rate in this country is decreasing

00:01:28.640 again a bad indicator couple this with a rising unemployment rate particularly targeting young

00:01:34.160 canadians a surge in mass immigration numbers over the past three to four years and a housing crisis

00:01:40.480 things are not looking very good so why then is this not a critical issue of debate in canada why

00:01:46.800 aren't solutions being brought forward by our leaders to solve this problem that is the common

00:01:52.080 question of the video why is nobody talking about this be sure to drop a like in the video help us

00:01:57.440 out by subscribing to the true north youtube channel and let's get into it well i hate to be the bearer of

00:02:01.680 bad news but let's be honest you already knew about this there will be a major in-cell crisis in this

00:02:07.840 country this is from open source stats canada data compiled by chris brunet take a look at this this is

00:02:14.640 the male to female ratio in canada of 20 to 24 year olds in 1970 there were 100 young men for every 100

00:02:23.360 young women in this country today there are now 109 young men for every 100 young women in this country

00:02:31.680 now i wonder what could have possibly triggered this rather shocking demographic shift could it be record

00:02:37.760 levels of mass immigration millions of people coming into this country especially young men

00:02:44.240 no probably not right they just magically appeared in this country i mean look at this data here since

00:02:49.040 the 1970s this number has steadily been rising until 2010 or 2011 or so where it's decided to go straight

00:02:58.080 up essentially from pierre trudeau all the way through to his son justin trudeau we've been talking about

00:03:03.920 this this is not just a liberal government phenomenon this is a concerted effort in this

00:03:10.400 country since the 1970s to embrace a program of mass immigration you can see that the rate before

00:03:17.600 justin trudeau got into office was rapidly increasing and that number only continued to rise faster with

00:03:24.240 justin trudeau in office now chris brunet even went further with this he broke it down by province

00:03:30.960 and in ontario the problem is the worst in fact there are now 112 young men in ontario for every

00:03:38.160 100 young women in ontario and where did the overwhelming majority of immigrants settle in

00:03:43.360 this country wouldn't you just guess it it's ontario having a large number of young men in

00:03:48.800 this country without a female mate and without any prospects of ever actually having a wife and

00:03:54.880 children is a very dangerous thing for any country to have now like all those financial advisors always

00:04:00.640 say past performance does not guarantee future results perhaps so but are we really willing to

00:04:06.400 gamble with this is this something that we should just say well it's not going to happen to us we're

00:04:10.080 not going to have any major societal problems with a bunch of young men who have no prospects of ever 0.68

00:04:15.600 having a mate in a family it won't happen to us right this is canada nothing could go wrong

00:04:20.720 now i don't know about you but that's not a bet i'm willing to make these days now if we are going

00:04:24.800 to embrace this full-scale mass immigration policy which i really hope we don't but i don't know if

00:04:30.800 we're going to have any change anytime soon maybe we need to go back to the great mind of ali g who

00:04:36.640 had a solution to this problem which was simple take a listen what is the main thing we ain't got enough

00:04:42.400 of in this country hospitals no libraries behave we ain't got enough fit women and we just got too 1.00

00:04:52.080 many mingers no offense karen so why don't we just let in all the fit refugees and turn away all the 1.00

00:05:00.240 ranked ones that way we solve both problems now unlike politicians in this country who refuse to

00:05:05.440 mention canada's collapsing birth rate altogether on this show we have been making a point to address

00:05:10.640 this quite a bit recently if you are a regular viewer of this program you will know about canada's

00:05:15.760 birth rate it's right around 1.3 1.4 it has been collapsing it is well below the replacement rate

00:05:23.040 and no one is addressing this at all so we have a collapsing birth rate in our country but is it

00:05:27.680 because canadians don't want children or is it because they feel like they can't afford to have

00:05:33.040 children well a recent survey by cardis would indicate that actually canadians want to have more

00:05:39.280 children but they can't seem to afford it here are some of the key findings by cardis in this recent

00:05:44.800 demographic survey that they conducted women in canada at the end of their reproductive years have

00:05:50.400 about 0.5 fewer children than they desire on average missing births vastly outnumber excess births

00:05:58.400 nearly half of women at the end of their reproductive years have had fewer children than they wanted many

00:06:04.160 factors influence canadian women in having fewer children than they desire but the most influential

00:06:09.760 factors relate to the ideas that children are burdensome that parenting is intensive and time

00:06:15.040 consuming and that women want to finish self-development and exploration before having children the view

00:06:20.560 that parenting is demanding is a bigger factor for low fertility than is housing or child care costs

00:06:26.720 more than a third of young canadians were setting aside plans for a family due purely to financial

00:06:31.280 reasons of canadians in their 20s stats canada found that 38 of them did not believe they could

00:06:37.440 afford to have a child in the next three years with about the same number 32 saying they doubted

00:06:43.120 they'd be able to find suitable housing in which to care for a baby so if a large number of canadians

00:06:48.240 want to have more kids but are either finding it too demanding to be a parent or can't afford a house

00:06:55.120 to raise a family in well maybe housing seems to be the issue now the next logical question is what

00:07:01.840 has caused this housing shortage it wouldn't possibly be high levels of mass immigration would it oh yeah

00:07:08.080 it is because that's what immigration refugees and citizenship canada warned the federal government

00:07:13.680 before they embarked on this reckless dangerous path so the federal government was warned two years ago

00:07:21.040 that immigration levels were far exceeding available housing supply but yet they kept going didn't they 1.00

00:07:26.960 we also have the data that shows that despite the increases in immigration immigrants aren't actually

00:07:32.240 building houses like we were told they were going to and when you just know it the line we've been

00:07:36.320 fed by the federal government was that we needed more immigrants to fill canada's labor shortage but

00:07:42.000 the latest unemployment rate increased and according to an rbc economist in the cbc the reason for that

00:07:48.560 is because there's too much supply for available jobs the exact opposite of what we have been told

00:07:55.360 younger people are accounting for the bulk of the uptick in in job seekers economists point out people

00:08:02.000 aged 15 to 24 haven't seen job gains for more than a year the labor market is growing too quickly um and

00:08:10.880 job creation is not keeping up so it is a bit challenging out there right now for recent graduates higher

00:08:16.240 population without more jobs is part of the issue but so is an economy that's slowing down and who

00:08:23.040 is impacted most by these latest unemployment numbers well according to the cbc and according

00:08:27.760 to the recent data it's young canadians the people who we have to rely on to increase our birth rate

00:08:33.920 so now you're starting to see how all of this is coming together how high levels of mass immigration

00:08:39.920 are directly linked to declining birth rates in this country you have a surge in mass immigration

00:08:46.320 which creates two new problems one being a spike in young men outpacing the young female population

00:08:53.760 and then you also have a housing supply shortage if you have a housing supply shortage well then what

00:09:01.360 happens canadians aren't family building because they can't find a house to raise their family in so the

00:09:07.840 marriage rates are declining average age of marriage increases and the fertility rate continues to

00:09:13.520 decrease not because canadian women don't want to have kids they're not having as many as they want 0.97

00:09:18.560 to have now i would consider myself to be a close observer of canada's parliament i watch question

00:09:23.680 period more than anyone should and i have very rarely if ever heard a debate about birth rates so i was

00:09:30.800 curious i want an open parliament to search up birth rates and fertility rates to see when these issues

00:09:37.280 are addressed if ever it seems really only one conservative mp in this country addresses birth

00:09:43.200 rates without tying it directly to mass immigration shockingly it was michelle rumple garner of all

00:09:49.200 people and it was only really twice in the last two years the liberals they don't seem to have a

00:09:54.960 problem mentioning birth rates because it is one of their excuses as to why they have to embrace mass

00:09:59.840 immigration the bloc they also mentioned falling birth rates but it only has to do with declining use of

00:10:06.400 french two conservative mps michael chang and garnet genuis seem genuinely more concerned about falling

00:10:14.080 birth rates in xinjiang china than they do about canada's birth rates seeing as how they haven't

00:10:19.120 mentioned the issue in relation to canada but they have taken issue to mention it about the uyghurs in

00:10:25.760 china we're not going to be able to solve canada's birth rate problem unless we get immigration under 1.00

00:10:30.800 control which means a decline in immigration numbers a rapid decline in immigration numbers

00:10:36.480 to make sure we're taking care of the needs of canadians first to incentivize family building pierre

00:10:42.400 pauliev has said to us many times before that his immigration plan won't be set on arbitrary numbers

00:10:48.480 and targets but instead it will be tied to available demand in the economy this issue is also not being

00:10:55.440 addressed in the uk however there is one conservative mp in the uk who did address this issue take a

00:11:02.640 listen to what miriam cates of the uk said in parliament earlier today mr speaker and can i thank

00:11:08.800 my right honorable friend for his answer but one of the main drivers of immigration over the last 20

00:11:13.600 years or so has been labor shortages caused by falling birth rates and according to projections by

00:11:18.960 philip pilkington and paul morland if birth rates don't increase then immigration will have to rise to

00:11:23.840 over a third of the population over the next 50 years if we're going to maintain a sufficient

00:11:28.080 working age population so immigration on this scale has no democratic consent and obviously 1.00

00:11:33.200 the minister has promised repeatedly to reduce that migration so can i ask what discussions my

00:11:38.160 right honorable friend has had with colleagues in the treasury about this issue and does he agree

00:11:42.720 that the government must have a strategy to address falling birth rates to ensure that we don't 0.97

00:11:46.960 always have to rely on ever increasing rates of immigration uh mr speaker my honorable friend makes

00:11:53.200 an important point about birth rates and there are a myriad of social and economic factors that drive

00:12:00.480 that uh beyond my control uh i have to i have to uh concede um but i have spoken with uh my right

00:12:08.480 honorable friend the chancellor of the exchequer uh about uh related issues and recognizing that gdp per

00:12:15.680 capita is an important metric as well as overall gdp we're ensuring that we invest in a british workforce

00:12:22.400 my right and friendly education sector a passionate about apprenticeships and lifelong learning we want

00:12:27.760 to be a high skilled uh high income economy rather than a low skilled mass migration economy that remains

00:12:36.880 the government's priority and we are taking action in our immigration policy to reflect that desire

00:12:41.840 good on miriam for bringing this up it needs to be addressed it needs to be taken seriously we know

00:12:47.600 what's causing this problem but are we going to get solutions let me know if you think we are going

00:12:54.000 to get solutions anytime soon from our political class in this country over this major issue all

00:12:59.600 right that's going to do it for us today on the show thank you so much for tuning in

00:13:02.560 my name is harrison faulkner and this is ratio
