I don't really care what happens to the demographics of Eastern Canada (I'm not racist, so I don't care if it becomes less white, but I also don't care if it stays the same or becomes whiter, either), but Western Canada, Alberta, Saskatchewan, BC, becoming less white I think is a good thing. It's the home of regressive right-wing populist and neocon politics, which is unpopular everywhere else in the country, so I have dreamed of the population replacement of whites in Western Canada for quite a while. I am pretty sure that if we didn't have the West acting like a heavy rail car holding us back, a Canadian would have found a cure for cancer or something... I just want to pull the pin out and detach that rail car lol.

Immigrants headed West
Immigrants are heading to the Prairies in larger numbers, with increases in the share of new immigrants settling in Alberta, Manitoba and Saskatchewan. While 39 per cent of new immigrants still head to Ontario, that is down from 55.9 per cent in 2001.
"This isn't just about the economy, but because some provinces are taking advantage of the Provincial and Territorial Nominee Program and using this program to attract immigrants that fit their economic needs," says René Houle, senior analyst with Statistics Canada.
Urban centres in the Prairies have also welcomed disproportionately large numbers of new immigrants. Nevertheless, 56 per cent of them live in and around Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver, while these centres are home to just over one-third of all Canadians.

Also, the Indigenous population has doubled in the last decade:
42.5% increase in Indigenous population since 2006
There were 1,673,785 Indigenous Canadians in 2016, representing 4.9 per cent of the country's population. That is an increase of 42.5 per cent since 2006, a rate of growth more than four times that of the non-Indigenous population.
Factors behind the pace of growth include greater life expectancy, a higher fertility rate and an increase in the self-reporting of Indigenous identity.
The Indigenous population is young, averaging 32.1 years old — almost a decade younger than non-Indigenous Canadians — and more are living in cities.
The population in large metropolitan centres has grown by nearly 60 per cent since 2006, in part due to the increase in Indigenous self-identification, according to Thomas Anderson, an analyst with Statistics Canada
The Indigenous population "is young and growing, and will continue to grow," he says.
Statistics Canada estimates that on these trends, the Indigenous population could be 2.5 million by 2036.
