Demographics of Canada
The Most Possible Projection For Canada's Demographics
- By the year 2060 Canadian population would have doubled, mostly because of high immigration, increased child survival rates and low death rates.
- Chances of the birth rate decreasing are good. As family planning would be introduced and use of birth control methods would be used more frequently.
- If the birth rate decreases the result would be that there would be a low dependency load.
- Population would have been distributed evenly, and not be concentrated only in one area, for example Ontario.

FIRST NATIONS ( LAKOTA PEOPLE ) ♥ Heartbreaking ♥
the future of first nations
The indian act will be gone, it will be abolished. People will revolt just to the idea to restrict the same people who have made exploration of north america much easier. The indians will continue evolving to the point that will become business leaders, influential celebrities or even respectable leaders. Their population will spread around the country most probably they just might to emigrate to parts of Europe. This time will come, it not far away from them and neither us.
