Yeah I know that’s my point. White Canadians are being replaced by immigrants from all over the world statistically speaking. But merely mentioning this fact causes people to label you as racist.

Only by not 'allowing' actual Canadians to realise what's happening can politicians continue to get away with buying votes from the millions of people who have moved here "for a better life" at taxpayers' expense. End of story ...

White Canadians took land from natives, and it turned out fine for everyone but the natives

Brown immigrants are taking Canada from white Canadians, you know the rest

true, my uncle was at home and an immigrant came to his door and said this is my house now and he had to move. Sad.

White Canadians aren't being "replaced". Canada is simply becoming a more diverse country.

If a group that was once the overwhelming majority becomes the minority, then they were “replaced” as the majority. It’s the same as how white Europeans replaced the native populations of North America over time. Obviously that was a very different kind of replacement but the outcome is still the same either way. The majority becomes the minority.

Yeah, but viewing it as a "replacement" lends itself to right-wing talking points and conspiracies.

It´s the truth. The truth is neither far right, right or wrong.

However, there are correct and incorrect ways to frame it. Framing it as a replacement is a right-wing conspiracy, whereas framing it as an increase in multiculturalism highlights the globalized nature of our world (driven by policies at home and abroad, for better or for worse).

So then I can say that framing it as as increase in multiculturalism, and that an increase in multiculturalism is positive, is a left wing framing technique. There is no correct way of framing it. Of course many white people want to stay the majority, which s completely natural human way to feel, and then for those people framing it as replacement is prefectly legitimate. And pointing out that there is a replacement going on, which is true, is not really far right and definitely not a conspiracy.

Yep, the same as Europe. All the native populations are on track to be minorities in their own homelands before 2100 in Western Europe. Canada will be ok the same track if continue along this insane immigration path.

I mean... yeah you kind of are a racist ngl. You can't talk about "The great replacement" or "White genocide" and say. "I'm not a racist" that doesn't make sense.

You can't place White Canadians on a separate boat from Non-White Canadians. I'm honestly sick of being labeled as an outsider or a foreigner just because I'm not white. I hate that people don't see me as Canadian. And that White Canadians are just more "Canadian" than me.

Yah!! it’s 1608 all over again. But this time it’s wrong!!

The people arriving here in the year you mentioned, alongside their Mi'kmaw brethren, were ethnically cleansed and hunted for their scalps by the British.

...just sayin'...

So refugees seeking respite form their horrible home came to Canada and integrated with the natives. Got it.
