This is needed. We have far too many homeless due to the corruption in this country. We lose our best and brightest and we may need a reset of sorts. America is by far the preferred location for those seeking freedom and opportunity.
Canada's population dropped last year, marking the first time the country has seen an annual net decline in residents since Confederation.
According to the latest quarterly estimate from Statistics Canada, the population of citizens, landed immigrants and non-permanent residents in Canada stood at 41,472,081 on Jan. 1, 2026 — a decrease of 0.2 per cent, or just over 102,000, from Jan. 1, 2025.
StatsCan said that even though the population increased by just over 77,000 people in the first six months of last year, it wasn't enough to outweigh the decline of almost 180,000 in the second half of 2025.
This preliminary estimate said a reduction in the number of non-permanent residents was the "leading factor in slowing population growth."
