| Publisher Description: Statistics Canada projects that, by 2031, approximately 28% of the population will be foreign-born. The number of people belonging to visible minority groups will double, and make up the majority of the population in Toronto and Vancouver. The preamble to the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms references "God," and the monarch carries the title of "Defender of the Faith," but Canada has no official religion and support for religious pluralism is an important part of Canada's political culture. Canada has thus evolved to be a multiracial and multicultural hub of various communities and ethnicities. This book studies the demographic features of Canada including the ethnic origins of peoples in Canada, irreligion in Canada, freedom of religion in Canada, Canadian English, and Canadian French.
