Toronto once reliably lost about 20,000 more people to other cities in Canada than it lured in from around the country. But in 2017, that number doubled to 40,000. And then it doubled again. In the past two years, 220,000 more Canadians have abandoned Ontario’s capital than arrived.
The majority of these Toronto expats have moved to other areas within Ontario including Oshawa, Hamilton, the Niagara Region and London, according to Statistics Canada’s domestic migration data. They’re also calling Calgary, Edmonton and Halifax home.
It’s a trend that’s worrying Toronto officials and economists who fear the city’s middle class is disappearing.
WHITE FLIGHT
I believe “Middle Class” should be read as “White Flight” for the purposes of this article .
Toronto is clearly on the downside and this article confirms what I have suspected was occurring, the city is being hollowed out.
Toronto’s demise is being accelerated by mass immigration from incompatible cultures which in turn causes overburdened services and housing unaffordability contributing to the city’s declining quality of life.
The city has long been both magnet and dumping ground for Trudeau’s destructive immigration policy which has imposed an unwanted cultural shift alienating to longtime residents.
TO’s situation is exasperated by its bizarre leftist government which is more concerned with celebrating perversion and insulting Canada’s heritage than actually fixing what’s wrong with this incipient dumpster fire.
I won’t mention the rising crime rate or the many imported ethnic and religious conflicts being played out in our streets because that would be racist.
But that won’t stop city hall from raising taxes and offering less and less in return every year.
People see the writing on the wall, they see the ghettoization of Toronto neighborhoods and the GTA in general.
They see that indoctrination has replaced education in the city’s schools.
They know the city becomes less safe with each passing day and they know they are not welcome in multicultural Toronto.
Chow’s election may come to be regarded as the watershed moment signaling the beginning of Toronto’s irreversible decline.
Viva diversity.
