Old as hills, racists gonna racist. US has always had lots of immigration and much of the time it’s been different than the majority. Each decade sees a wave of immigrants from a different part of the world and there are always some who are afraid of change. If you remember from school, you probably studied several of them. Not to excuse racists, just that they are an unfortunate part of who we are
The article is about the USA. At the point I commented, I didn’t see anything to indicate anyone was talking about Canada. Regardless, someone has challenged your assertion further down the thread in the Canadian context.
Okay, then. So why is this a problem? What’s the demographic breakdown of that total? You mentioned Hindus specifically, but what percentage of that total are Hindu? Why are Hindus problematic? Are there other groups that trouble you? Who are they, and why are they a problem? Are the groups that concern you monolithic and homogenous, or is it a subset of those groups that you see as a problem?
To be fair, I think replacement theory is nonsense, but I want to get down to the fundamentals of why you appear to think it’s valid.
Yeah its weird, we are kinda both right. I did some more research, and… its admittedly quite confusing. According to this article 2,198,679 is correct for 2023 as the total number of non-permanent residents in Canada, which is over 1 million more than the year before. But! This 1 million excess isn’t all new people. They revised the way they counted people, which resulted in a higher number than before being counted.
The article goes on to say “The large growth from international migration is due to nearly 470,000 new permanent resident landings, and an increase in the number of non-permanent residents by almost 700,000 people.”
So the number in my previous comment was only accounting for “NEW and permanent” residents, not the non-permanent residents. The number of “NEW non-permanent” residents is not given, but it is implied that most of their increased number come from the new method of counting them.
As a side note, of the 2.2 million non permanent residents in Canada, 1.4 million of them have work permits, and a lot have student visas (the exact number wasn’t shown in the article).
Regardless, it is true that the number of new immigrants is increasing faster than any other G7 country. Is that a bad thing? Find out next time on Dragon Ball Z

You don’t import 2.5 million people in 2 years to a country of 37.5 million. That’s a replacement model.
Well, the US has a total population of over 333 million, so…
Fucking think
Wait, I don’t get it. Are you implying you believe that the population of the US is only 37.5 million?

Ah, the comment you replied was talking about the US. I think that is where the confusion came in.
Edit -
The number of immigrants into canada according to statista:
2022 - 2023: 468,817
2021 - 2022: 493,236
That is a lot, but not 2.5 million
1.3 million in 2023 https://www.reuters.com/world/americas/canada-clocks-fastest-population-growth-66-years-2023-2024-03-27/
