Editor's note: Canada has long seen itself as the country people want to join, but a record number of its own citizens are now leaving. Statistics Canada counted 120,640 emigrants in 2025, the most since records began in 1952, and the pace has not slowed in 2026. Many are young, working-age Canadians settling in American cities, and Prime Minister
Mark Carney has treated the trend as a footnote. It deserves far more attention, from Ottawa and from the Americans who will be welcoming these newcomers as neighbors. In a
previous post, US-Canada tariff talks were referred to that are meant to destabilize Canada and push it toward annexation, likening this to the interwar "
War Plan Red" contingency plan, and adds the claim that Canada is "coming apart" (see
Sold to Brussels, Sold on Death: What's Really Happening to Canada) under
Mark Carney, with a Quebec separatist government, an Alberta vote, and companies and Canadians leaving.

A record
120,640 citizens and permanent residents left Canada in 2025, the most since Statistics Canada began keeping the numbers in 1952. In the first quarter of 2026, another 30,092 followed, the highest first-quarter total ever recorded. Only 9,952 returned. The
country's population shrank in consecutive quarters. These are not the numbers of a nation that believes in its own future, and they have arrived on Prime Minister
Carney's watch.
