.........on immigrants?

MORE THAN half of Toronto's faces will be those of visible minorities by 2017, when Canada celebrates its 150th anniversary.


According to Statistics Canada projections released yesterday, there will be 2.8 million to nearly 3.9 million visible minorities living in the country's largest city 12 years from now. Overall, Toronto will have 6.3 million to 7.1 million residents by then.

South Asians -- the fastest growing minority group in the 2001 census -- will see their numbers rise to more than 1 million in Toronto, followed by the Chinese at 735,000.

In the 2001 census -- the most recent numbers available -- 36.8% of Toronto's residents were visible minorities, up from 25.8% in 1991.

All told, one in five people living in Canada -- about 6.3 million to 8.5 million or 20% -- will be a member of a visible minority in 2017.

I was not the least bit surprised when I read about this. I don't mind too much, but I still think our immigration policy needs some updating so it's a bit less lax.

60-70% of Amsterdam is immigrant too.

Really? I'm not aware of other countries' laws on immigration but I always assumed that ours was lax due to our extremely high ratio of immigrants.
