What do you think Canada will look like in the future? 54 years from now in the year of 2070? How will technology change around us, the environment, our economy?

This SMORE is all about what Canada will hold for us in the year of 2070 filled with several of my opinions on how demography of this country will be like, immigration statistics, birth and death rates etc. Not to forget, what will Canada do to the Natives of our land and what will happen to their population if we don't help them live the life the deserve like us.

Demography is the study of population in a country or place. When we talk about the demography of Canada we are interested in knowing population counts, statistics of the races in Canada, types of Immigrants etc. Although, more generally we talk about birth, death and natural increase rates. For example the amount of births per 1000 people.

Now that you know the basics of demography, let us look at some graphs that show the current population and rates of Canada compared to what the future may look like

Above is a population pyramid of Canada's population in the year of 2016. As you can see, the shape of it is rather pentagonal than triangular. By noticing this, you can determine many things such as the coming broth rate compared to that of 50 years ago. As you can see, the amount of young kids in Canada ages 14 and below, are much smaller than the amount of middle aged and senior men and women.

Therefore, you can state that the birth rate of Canada has decreased over the past years. What about in the future?

Above is yet another population pyramid, this one also being in the shape of a pentagon but less angular than the previous one. As you can see, the difference in population between ages 60 and lower are smaller in difference which means that Canada's population will decrease but not as fast.

Of course this population pyramid is a prediction because it shows what the population may look like in the year 2070. The reason i chose this pyramid from this certain website is only because it supports my opinions on how I think Canada's population will follow this path.

My opinion is that Canada's population will stop growing as fast by slow decreasing its birth rate but gaining most of its population by immigrants.

Canada as we know it, is a very diverse country in races accepting all and discriminating none. Of course, Canada contain many immigrants coming from all around the world, thousands a year. The main question although is, what types of immigrants are all of these people, and what majority will immigrate here in the future and for what reason?

Above is a line graph showing the rate of Canadian immigrants over the past 150 or so years. As you can see, the rates have decreased over the past year since the 1900's. After that time period, immigration rates have decreased but are staying relatively high and at one stable level.

Canada has gained and earned all of these peoples interest in settling down because of how great of a country it is for businesses, families and independent people to just settle down and live in peace. Over the past years, Canada is home to many refugees coming from around the world. For example, many refugees from Syria have been immigrating to Canada for a better life, education and safety.

What do u thing immigration rates will look like in the future for Canada. Will there be greater amounts or lesser amounts and of what type of immigrants. What will Canada have to offer businesses looking forward to settle down in a foreign country, or for families looking for a place to get a job and live a peaceful life.

In my opinion, I believe in the future, Canada will be a major attraction for immigrants always being on the top of the list. I say this because of how much land there is in Canada for expansion and business. Also, if any disaster were to occur in the future (2070), Canada will be home to many residents since Canada is known for not being to involved in Wars and is relatively a peaceful country. Saying this, Canada will hold its population of diverse races and being home to many refugees.

Above is a video that talks about immigration to Canada. It explains how jobs in Canada are offered to immigrants but not as a high enough level as they would have had in their home country, This being because of education difference in foreign countries and having to go back to school once immigrating.

The woman's project is basically a series that explains Canadian immigration and how its changing Canada's overall economy. It hovers over many topics such as how Canadian citizens aren't giving birth to as many children therefore having to rely on immigrants to fill that gap.

I chose this video because it focuses on the future, thinking about how Canada's population and immigration rates will look like. It also supports my personal opinions on how i think Canada is at the top of the list for immigrants because of its economy and how it offers many jobs, not necessarily the best paying jobs in the world but offering a large variety, and room for businesses to bloom.

Over the past years, Canada has faced a lot drama with the First Nations and aboriginals peoples of this land, misunderstanding and disrespecting. Today, we learn to treat them with just as much respect as we would to every other citizen and give them the same amount of rights and responsibilities.

First Nations are known to be Native to this land, hence the name given. Although, years ago, The British treated them like animals or savages, where they tried to "humanize" or civilize them in local schools.

Above is another population pyramid yet this one shows the population of two groups of people. As you can see form the legend, The blue pyramid represents "Other Canadians" and the yellow represents the population of the aboriginal people.

What can we interpret from this graph, rather predict what will happen in the future?

I believe that by looking at this graph, we can say that the population of aboriginal people will increase drastically and the population of "Other Canadians" increase at more of a steady rate, as it is right now. I say this for the aboriginal group because there is a much greater amount of younger kids ages 14 and below than the amount of middle aged or senior aboriginals.

In the future, I have a few things to expect from the population and the treatment of First Nations. Of course, following the path Canada is currently following, First Nations and all aboriginals will be treated with the same amount of rights and responsibilities as any other citizen, the only difference being their uniqueness of being native to this land. I also believe that the government will start to move aboriginals or help their communities in a way that they have the latest medicines, have access to food and clean water and especially shelter.

I say this because in communities up north in Ontario such as Attawapiskat, there are large numbers of first nations that are suffering from the lack of water, poor shelter and education. It kills me when I realize that these communities are located in Ontario itself, the capital province of Canada.

Above is a sound cloud audio clip that talks about Canada, and how it will be like in the future from the opinions on a 14 year old, me. I talk about how I think i will experience Canada in the year of 2070 at the age of 68 years. Enjoy!

In the end, I would like to thank you for listening, watching and reading my SMORE on what I think Canada will look like in 2070. First Nations fitting in, Immigrants serving to Canadian economy and a decrease in the speed of births. I hope you have learned a lot form my SMORE and I thank you once again for reading.
