You mean that tiny uptick in percentage, after an unprecedented drop surrounding a global pandemic? That ~0.02% change? The second-lowest rate of emigration since 1990? The rate, which has actually ticked slightly downward in the last year - going by the graph in the article?
The data in this article only looks bad from one very narrow and very specific angle. From every other perspective, it's a story of success for immigrants, showing that Canada is retaining newcomers at a rate that hasn't been seen in over 30 years.
There are two separate statistics here. One is the overall emigration rate from Canada and the second is emigration rate of immigrants. You're using overall emigration rate which is predominantly Canadians moving to the states.
Actually, the article doesn't give any other more relevant statistics, besides an offhand mention of a report from the ICC. I'm just going from the data provided here.
This article is recklessly sloppy at best - deliberately misleading at worst.
Care to explain what motivation you believe Reuters has to publish a malicious misleading article about Canada. This frankly sounds like a weird conspiracy theory.
I legitimately don't know, I normally consider Reuters to be a good source of news, or I wouldn't have bothered clicking it in the first place.
I don't think they necessarily have some grand plan, but I can't just idly accept them telling us our country is in decline when their own data is telling the exact opposite story.
If anything, I guess I question their motives here because I believe they're competent. If this was some random blog, I'd write it off as ignorance.
