Contrary to what researchers expected, the length of time Indian immigrants have lived in Canada has no effect whatsoever on the practice of sex selection in favour of boys.
[…]
While Canadian-born women give birth to about 105 boys for every 100 girls, Urquia and his team from the University of Toronto and St. Michael’s Hospital, showed Punjabi-speaking mothers in Ontario, at their third birth, had 240 boys for every 100 girls.
“We expected that with longer exposure to Canada’s environment of greater gender equality, immigrants from India would progressively shift toward valuing daughters and sons more equally,” Urquia said. But it seems that’s not so.
Instead of finding a decrease, they actually found a slight increase in preference for boys.
Because it’s 2017!
I’m assuming “sex selection in favour of boys” is newspeak for aborting female fetuses. As far as I know you can’t create a baby boy by wishing really hard.
Indians are aborting female babies?
Trudeau will simply make it a new Canadian value, then pass a motion to make it illegal to criticize indians murdering female babies.
Because Justin Trudeau is a feminist of course !
18 paragraphs in before the word “abort” gets used. That’s some quality reporting there, wouldn’t want to lead with the facts. Can someone better at demographics and math explain if this will average out? This is only looking at births after having 2 daughters already, so is it possible that this is not a demographic time bomb similar to the results of China’s One Child Policy? Or did they focus on 3rd children to avoid the bombshell that it’s similar numbers for firstborns? Jeez, if only we had some kind of group of people that asked questions and reported things….
The good news is that there will be just as many Indian “boys” as Chinese “boys” to battle over what’s left of any Canadian “turf” that Islam neglects in the future.
If India and China finally go nuclear against each other they’ll have just as many “boy boots on the ground” as the other.
It’ll be interesting to see which of these cultures eventually “win” and dominate what’s left of future Canada. Undoubtedly either China or Islam, they may even split the new country into east and west, but then again the US of Mexico my run right up the middle for the oil sands and potash.
I can’t believe the CBC reported this at all. It sounds bad even with everything they did to try and whitewash it.
It’s gonna be hard times for those Indian boys when they want to marry another Indian and no one’s available. Might be a good time to invest in Indian-themed gay bathhouses.
Because importing thousands of mooselimb rapists is not enough, now we are breeding a generation of sexually frustrated Indian males. What’s the worst that can happen?
Another reason the #whitesharia needs to become real. Time to compete
Who do these researchers think they are imposing their gender on dead babies?!
And whatever happened to health information being private? Where is the Punjabi group right to privacy?!

Culture matters. Multicultism that values all cultures equally is the biggest cause of lack of criticism when it comes to cultural practices that should be ended.
Because of the Dowry which goes from the brides family to the grooms family, there is an advantage to having sons over daughters, and when there is easy access to abortion like in canada (no restrictions), you end up with a very bad ratio. It is likely that the families that have more embraced western culture, will accept daughters, but those who still follow the old ways, end up having sons.
When those sons grow up, they won’t go looking for a women to marry here, they will go back to india to attempt to find a wife, and will have an advantage over the native born population.
In india, abortion is restricted, but sex selective abortions still happen, although there are penalties for advertising the service.

“Multicultism that values all cultures equally is the biggest cause of lack of criticism”
– But, but, the Progressive Left ALWAYS argue that other cultures will “integrate into a Progressive Canadian culture”, certainly by the second generation, while they actively promote “keeping your culture”.
With billions now spent on (Taxpayer) sponsored Multicultural Organizations in Canada who shout to the world – “If you like your culture we insist that you keep your culture”!

Here is a list of Multicultural Organizations in Vancouver alone:

This is what Trudeau senior’s multiculturalism looks like.
As long as there are enough voters, who cares how many abortions (there is no abortion law in this country, by the way) these “quaint” brown people have?
But as math was never a liberal strong suit, that political scheme won’t last forever.
I’d be interested in a breakdown of the stats according to religion. There’s clearly an internal contradiction going on here too since Islam, Sikhism and Hinduism are all doctrinally against abortion. As the BBC notes:
“In practice, however, abortion is practiced in Hindu culture in India, because the religious ban on abortion is sometimes overruled by the cultural preference for sons. This can lead to abortion to prevent the birth of girl babies, which is called ‘female feticide’.”
Don’t let your daughters socialize with boys fro cultures that kill off their own daughters.
Intra-uterine sex identification remains an inexact science. How many hoped for little boys were thrown away with “unwanted” girls as a part of this “cultural” practice?
Amniocentesis is a more accurate method for sex identification but, in Canada, it is usually reserved for “at risk” pregnancies and for women who are pregnant beyond a certain age. It is interesting to note that amniocentesis and ultrasounds as a means of determining the sex of a fetus are illegal in India to prevent infanticide/abortion of a female fetus.
It is also interesting to note the major religions of India are anti-abortion. Female infanticide remains a “cultural” phenomenon. Without similar laws in Canada, we are facilitating female infanticide by allowing both the sex identification testing and the abortion which surely follows when the fetus is a girl. It would be interesting to see the same birth rates for India. We may well be the third world country.
Yea Cultural Relativism!
There was an html “/sarc” after the “Yea Cultural Relativism!” line. It was lost because of the lesser-than, greater-than brackets. Shoulda used preview.
You are correct, and Colsta and Eels are misinformed if they believe Indian men would prefer gay instead of finding a wife in India if the selection in Canada was limited.
Multicultural assimilation isn’t all-in or all-out; the real world is shades of grey not black or white. Foolishly misinformed people think only in extremes, and that limits their understanding of complex issues like culture.

Hay, it’s the dyslexic retard again.
What was that you said about Jesus killing JFK from the grassy knoll with an Xray-gun?
So are these immigrants or first/second generation Canadians? If this is still a trend with the second gen canadians I might be concerned. Otherwise this is too early in the assimilation process.
Multiculturism – the gift that never stops damaging society.

Here are some examples of cultural assimilation, most of these are second generation:

Here is a Documentary review about one of Canada’s Cultural Enrichments:
“Deepa Mehta pulls the trigger on Vancouver’s Sikh gangs in Beeba Boys”
“The movie is a violent look at a Vancouver gang of second and third generation Indo-Canadian criminals known as the Beeba Boys.”

Course we don’t know if they assimilated out of any genital mutilation, honor killings, or female abortions so their probably ok depending on what side of the political sphere your on.
I’m sending my daughter to Ontario to find a nice Indian boy with a FAT H1-b visa and high tech job. And yes, of course I will tell her how to wash that pervasive curry smell out of her clothing
Back in the day, a woman of Indian origin threw her daughters (cannot remember whether three or four) off a bridge into the Bow River and then jumped in herself. The youngest was a newborn. All the news media were really backing off the “murder and suicide for cultural reasons”, but it did seep through that this woman was seriously depressed because her multiple pregnancies had resulted in only daughters.
Not that long after, was in line with our three young daughters at the local Woodward’s restaurant. The people in front were taking an interest in our family, until one woman asked “wouldn’t you have liked a son?”. Came very close to asking her if – given my failure – I should take the girls and myself off to the nearest bridge and jump. And this was a Caucasian woman asking the question.
Proud to say we still have three great daughters – all of whom are doing us credit – and some grandbrats (who are all equally great, but who are all taking after their parents: we are sitting back enjoying).
And “aborting” is newspeak for infanticide. You gave up the language; you can never win.
Ahh, where’s UnoMe to tell us all about the unadulterated joys of brown folk?
If there’s one thing that that synthetic,artificially manufactured,false culture known as multiculturalism has taught me is that my white western euroculture is superior to every other culture in the world
Also,whenever I hear somebody talking about multiculturalism I instinctively reach for my pistol!
abortion mentioned in the very first paragraph
Sex Ratio at Birth Begins to Improve in India
They should pass a law against it. That would solve the problem.
Maybe call it zero tolerance for barbaric cultural practices.
I agree with MRG all Multiculturalism has done is to convince me of the obvious superiority of our white western culture. In our world we don t mutilate our daughters or humiliate our wives by making them walk 3 paces behind us. If keeping your culture is so important that you must devaluate the females in your families and in your societies then stay in the sh.thole that you so desparately want to leave.
