Check out the graph in the bottom of the article. It has projections for each city.

Toronto is projected to be 68% percent nonwhite

Vancouver 64%

Calgary 50%

Edmonton 45%

Ottawa 40%

Montreal 40%

No blacks thoygh

Haha wow, Will there be any whites left in the major cities? Even Calgary at 50%! I agree there is such a small pop of black out outside Toronto Montreal and Halifax. Why though? You see Chinese people even in Edmonton now and no blacks in Regina, Saskatoon, etc.

Blacks are few were at like 3 percent, and minus internal growth barely any blacks come here, just a few international students and few refugees

I'm shocked they aren't the majority already.


I said in elementary school there's no such thing as Canadian Culture, because of the mosaic we have.


Canadian culture of peameal bacon,maple syrup,beaver tails and hockey is from 20-30 years ago...

The next national animal of this country will be the asian carp and national food will be chicken biryani...

Yup. How do we fit in going forward.

I actually see no one play street hockey anymore. And enrollment is dropping, these new immigrants aren't playing either. They should have cut down on the cost 10 years ago!

Yep, the chinese, Indians and Sri lankans already have Canada by the nuts, its just a waiting game now. (see Edmonton, BC and Toronto for instance)
I'm not scared. for being 3% we have a much bigger cultural impact. We don't just exist in our own safe pockets. In the grand scheme of things Black people in Canada have done well and are more influential than their numbers reflect. A testament to our strength.

We made TORONTO HOT INTERNATIONALLY. A bunch of immigrant kids.

A lot of other people either assimilate or live back home style no middle ground. You see it with Asians they either all the way with white folks or In their own communities. This is not a condemnation but it has reduced their impact on their new home in a cultural way. Just having a bunch of different types of food to try is not culture. The interesting things that happen in places like scarborough where people were forced to mix and live together are culture. Thats why you get an Indian like Russell Peter who is well verse on all the people and cultures that were around him. I always find it funny when I meet a minority with all cac friends in a city like Toronto. How you do that?

I'm shocked too. I though that would never happen but we lost two junior teams (Ice Dogs and Battalion), only the Oshawa General draw well. GTHL is so expensive too.

True. I think now that its went to North York and Scarborough and then Brampton and Pickering/Ajax/Oshawa made things worse.

True. It seems like we assimilated but there isn't a "black" community, there's Ghanaian, Nigerian, Caribbean (Jamaican, Trinidad, etc) communities. There are subcultures so harder to have a unifying culture

There is not even one city with a black pop over 15 percent

Even k Toronto we are like 7 percent

Go to a city like Vancouver you can spend a week and count all the black folks you see on one hand

I'm not saying being scared but we are so small

I remember back in the day it was the Carribean influx, then it was the Somali, then Haitians and all those loopholes have been closed

Now it's only the Africans who can afford outrageous international fees and then turn that degree into permanent residency


Back in the day you could just send for uncle Lloyd or cousin Marjorie from.foreign, now good luck even.your wife daisy with a kid born in Canada gotta fight tooth and nail to stay
