This is some white supremacist dog whistle nonsense right here.
Yup.
I still voted no. Canada will always be Canada. We are a young country full of promise and the Canada of the 1920's is not the Canada of today, but still both are Canada. The Canada of tomorrow I suspect will still be a mix of all peoples and creating new Canadian things.
It's not even a question - the % of Canada that has cultural/ethnic/ancestral ties to Asia (standard definition, i.e. obviously including the Middle East and India, not just the more typical East Asia) has been increasing over time, yes.
Similarly, Canada starting in the late 1700s "was becoming a more English place with every passing decade". Yep. Again, not a matter of opinion.

Depends on how you look at it. Are the institutions and form of government becoming more asian? Is our way of life becoming more asian? No, they are still rooted in our English and French history.
What I see are asians coming to Canada, adding to it's culture. It becomes part of us, like a Sikh RCMP officer wearing a turban. It symbolizes to me Canada.

Disagree with this. I shop at places like T&T and eat East Asian/South Asian food about 10,000x more than my father or grandfather did back when they were my age. I also get to hear/see Mandarin or Punjabi >100x more than they did.

Yeah, but that doesn't mean Canada is becoming an Asian country. It also wasn't posed as is Canada becoming MORE Asian as you are taking it, it says is Canada becoming an Asian country. Canada is not in Asia, so of course will never be an Asian country, and also isn't a European country. The fact that Canada has deep institutional and cultural European heritage doesn't mean it "belongs" to white people and that Asian Canadians are interlopers or less authentic Canadians. We are a new world country and a cultural mosaic and will continue to grow and change while preserving elements from the past. I am of Asian and European descent and I see no contradictions in any of that. I am a proud Quebecker and a proud Canadian. Canada has cultural elements from around the world but remains what it is - an unapologetically cosmopolitan North American federation.
That remains to be seen is the only plausible answer. Obviously, Canada will still be in North America physically, but what happens beyond that is anyone's guess. I would say that it depends on what happens with the Asian population moving forward. Will they integrate and adopt Canadian values or will most of them be merely economic migrants?
While Canada was founded by Europeans, there is nothing preventing future generations from changing things if they become the majority and feel that the old ways no longer appeal to them. If tomorrow, 70% of the population comes from societies that are strongly opposed to LGBT rights, how do you think that's going to affect the country's stance on it?
This isn't a rant against immigration though. I'm strongly in favour of it, but I can see how things could change in the future.
I reviewed all of your posts, including the ones where you said you're a Mexican in Mexico City and 4 years ago you had one more year to go there to complete your Bachelor's degree in Community Development and you have dual citizenship but have never lived in USA but you're an avid Trump supporter (who we all know is a white supremacist), and you appear to know a lot of factual information about many, many other countries and their histories and cultures. And that included me reading all your posts you made regarding your "underdeveloped" and xenophobic opinions about all Asians around the world in general and Asian immigrants in particular. Of course you and everyone else is entitled to their opinions but whether or not you are from some underdeveloped country yourself is a cop out response that means nothing because you are still a very well educated, mature and knowledgeable adult approaching 50 y.o. and hopefully approaching more wisdom and open-mindedness and 'development' that usually comes with age in well educated people like yourself.
So my point is that where you come from is not relevant to being told by somebody else that you are exhibiting some white supremacist dog whistle nonsense. It's already been backed up as a statement of fact in all of your own posts that you've made over the past few years. Your whole point is that you don't like Asians and you don't like immigrants and if you think that Canada is becoming an Asian country then that means you don't like Canada either. And that's your prerogative too but it doesn't matter because you don't live in Canada.
Anyway, that's all besides the point but you shouldn't try to kid other people who already know better because of your previous posting history.
No, Canada is not becoming an Asian country. Canada is becoming the multicultural, multi-racial center of the universe that hundreds of thousands of skilled people of all races and nations and cultures are immigrating to to start new lives for their selves and to invest their selves in contributing to Canada and Canadian society regardless of anyone's race.
