    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.
