Canada’s 2023 birthrate of 1.26 children per female is below the 2.1 minimum needed to maintain viability as a nation. Governments have only lately begun to pay attention to the disastrous implications of this trend. In the past, we have lived under the false security that any shortfall could be made up by increased immigration. It cannot!

In our secular quest for securing rights over responsibilities, we have permitted the loss, since 1969, of over four million citizens through abortion. CHP Canada has championed a reversal of this trend by strengthening the family and advocating ‘Adoption over Abortion’.

The best way to protect our heritage of rights and freedoms is to build our population from within Canada rather than relying on immigration, which comes with its own set of problems.

Studies conducted by the C.D. Howe Institute and the Fraser Institute confirm that there are greater financial, economic and social benefits to be gained by shifting the priority in population management away from immigration and toward domestic growth.
