全國華裔人口破130萬
[2010-02-19]

加拿大統計局(Statistics Canada)每年都會在農曆新年期間，公布與華人社區有關的統計數據。在今年發表的數字顯示，加國共有130萬華裔人口，佔全國人口4.3%。在加拿大，華語是英法兩種官方語言以外，最多人使用的語言。預計到了2017年，加國的有色人種中，有一半都是來自中國或南亞。

加拿大統計局根據2006年全國人口普查、2008年國際商品貿易年度回顧、2009年加拿大國際投資位置、2008年加拿大國際旅客來源國等多項統計的結果，在本月5日公布名為?珔Chinese New Year……by the numbers?珝的一系列統計數據報告。

除了中國及日本，加拿大與南韓、台灣、香港及新加坡都有相當密切的經貿關係。2008年，出口到亞太地區的貨品，總值397億元，比2007年上升了17.5%，增長來自加國大量的天然資源，如煤、小麥及菜油為主。相反，由亞洲入口加國的貨品，也增加了6.9%至837億元，是連續第6年錄得增長，當中三分之二是來自中國。2008年，共有60億元投資到香港，36億元投資到中國；由中國投資到加國的，也有28億元。

加拿大人最喜愛的旅遊目的地頭15名當中，中國排行第10，香港則排行第12。2008年，到加國旅遊的遊客中，共有15.9萬人次來自中國，排行第9，來自香港的有12.5萬人次，排行第11。

根據2006年的人口普查，全國共有130萬華人，佔全國總人口4.3%。華人最集中的城市，包括卑詩省的烈治文市(45%)、安省萬錦市(36%)、卑詩省本拿比市(31%)及安省烈治文山市(22%)。在2001年至2006年移民到加國的華人當中，有15.5萬人來自中國大陸，來自台灣的有1萬人，來自香港的只有7,430人。不論來自哪個國家，移民都以溫哥華、多倫多、滿地可及卡加利等城市作為落腳點。

語言方面，中文是本國第三大常用母語，只緊隨英文及法文兩種官方語言。全國有多於100萬人的母語是中文，在多倫多約有42萬人，溫哥華有33.2萬人。

在調查中，有36.1萬人表示自己的母語是廣府話，17萬人表示母語是國語(普通話)，另有45.6萬人只表示會說中文。華人在加拿大的比例上升，使加國對白米、大白菜、豆腐、人參等食品等需求增加。光是加國人參農場的農產品價值，已經高達7,330萬元。

We need to keep the Chinese community strong. The Indians are trying to swamp the world.

你估家陣係蠱惑仔開片，晒馬鬥人多咩？

不過以你 Peter哥啲水準，思想依然停留響「人多好辦事」呢個層次都算係咁㗎喇～

You stupid moron, it is the western media that have been claiming, that China's aging population will be a problem for economic development in the future, while India's surging population will allow India to overtake China. I don't totally agree with that point of view, mainly because the western media is clearly touting India against China, out of jealousy of Chinese rapid improvement and in an attempt to bash the Chinese.

LOL~

If you have any common sense at all, you can foresee how the One Child Policy is gonna affect every single aspect of life in China. The policy started in the 70's, so assuming that a couple have their kid some time between 25 - 30 (my estimate is already conservative -- actual age should be much younger than that), the oldest generation with a single child is around 60 - 65, with their children being 35 or younger. As they leave the work force and go into retirement, how is society gonna cope with that? Where do you find the expertise to replace their experience? Who is gonna support their retirement? How will the (already flawed) healthcare system accommodate them when these people start losing their health due to old age? Who is the moron when he can't even foresee any of this?

We all know why Lik is bashing Hong Kong, because he is just jealous of HK's success.

Success? How "successful" has Hong Kong been since the reunification? SARS, avian flu, Asia financial crisis, widespread discontent among citizens, continual shift towards an M-shaped society in terms of wealth with the highest Gini coefficient in the developed world. And I haven't even delved into other more important issues. Do you call this success?!

You stupid moron, Hong Kong is one of the most successful places in the world these days. During the Asian financial crisis, most other Asian countries, except China, did worse than Hong Kong. The financial crisis started in places like Korea and Thailand etc.

LOL~ I can't believe you are trying to distort historical facts now. Is that what they teach you to do at the 10 cents club training school?

During the Asia Financial Crisis, Hong Kong was one of the **LAST** places in the region to climb out of the recession because of the SAR government's steadfast refusal to unpeg the HK dollar from the US dollar. The result was massive deflation that lasted a lonnnnnng time, and regular citizens in Hong Kong suffered tremendously. It wasn't until 老懵懂 went up to beg Beijing to authorize 自由行 when the local economy started creeping back towards a healthy state.

If you can't even get your historical facts correct, don't spew your nonsense around la.

Now, as one of the most successful cities in the world, Hong Kong runs a budget surplus, unlike the US, Japan, UK and most of Europe and Canada, which are either near bankrupt, or heavily in debt or running big budget deficits.

Ya, the sky's falling in everywhere in the world except in Big China ar mah~ We know that's what you're gonna say la. And lemme tell you, any country can run a budget surplus as well if they do what the HKSAR government does -- handout unrealistically tiny amounts of funding to public and social services (such as healthcare, social support funds and programs), earmark chunks of money for aid programs to different industries and people so that the government looks good to the public, but when it comes time for people to actually apply for any of those, the requirements are super strict and basically impossible to qualify. So there is money left over, and the government can claim its surplus. And then it gets in bed with industry giants to funnel projects, land, and $$ into their coffers while leaving the poor to fend for themselves and rot.
