Canada's path to net zero:
Canada’s Birth Rate Plunges to Lowest Level in History
Canada is sliding deeper into a population crisis as new government data confirms the birth rate has collapsed to the lowest level in the nation’s history, for the second year in a row.
According to Statistics Canada’s 2024 births and stillbirths report, the country’s official fertility rate is now just 1.25 children per woman.

The figure is down from 1.26 in 2023.
That number is far below the replacement rate of 2.1 needed for any nation to sustain itself.
The findings are devastating and reveal that nine of Canada’s ten provinces and all three territories reported record-low fertility.
British Columbia sits at a catastrophic 1.02, a figure barely above extinction levels.
Even Ontario, Canada’s most populous province, is at just 1.21.
Meanwhile, the average age of childbearing has climbed to 31.8 years, the oldest in Canadian history.
Back in 1976, the average was 26.7.
However, fewer women are having babies today, and those who do are waiting longer, compounding the demographic crisis.
In total, just 368,928 babies were born in 2024.
Canada once boasted a robust fertility rate of 3.94 children per woman in 1959.
However, this number began falling after the introduction and legalization of the birth control pill in the 1960s.
Since then, the nation’s fertility rate has been on a relentless decline.
Today, the federal government continues to push the same globalist agenda of aggressively promoting contraception, abortion, and mass immigration as a substitute for natural population growth. |
