I would suggest these numbers support the fact that there is a dearth of infants available for adoption in Canada. The discrepancy is opposite to what you suggest.

I tried to look for potential adopter stats, and found nothing, and until you do you can not really claim that there are 50-100,000 people looking to adopt yearly in Canada(yes yearly). Especially with the invent of IVF, surrogates and other medical treatments to help infertile couples, those things also diminish the amount of people who want to adopt.
This is a pointless discussion anyway because thankfully abortion is legal in Canada, and hopefully it always will be.
