Talk:Afghan Canadians

message: how many Afghan-Canadians are there in Canada?
:On 17 January 2008, AmericanAnthropologist01, a sockpuppet of banned editor Beh-nam, added, and StevenLeClark restored a citation for the 26,000 (25,230) Afghan Canadians population figure to the StatCan site at .   The only detailed figures on StatCan for Afghan Canadians, is a 2001 census figure of 235 who marked Afghan as at least one ethnic origin, out of 150,385 total urban respondents in Sherbrooke, Quebec. "Population by selected ethnic origins, by census metropolitan areas (Sherbrooke)" StatCan  It is noteworthy that of the metropolitan areas surveyed, only Sherbrooke reported Afghans, or at least only the Sherbrooke page displayed the data.  For example, neither Quebec City "Population by selected ethnic origins, by census metropolitan areas (Québec)" StatCan nor Montreal "Population by selected ethnic origins, by census metropolitan areas (Montréal)" StatCan reported (displayed) any Afghan ethnic origin. Neither did Toronto "Population by selected ethnic origins, by census metropolitan areas (Toronto)" StatCan nor Hamilton "Population by selected ethnic origins, by census metropolitan areas (Hamilton)" StatCan. --Bejnar (talk) 20:55, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
