In Asia, population growth is a problem. Canada can benefit from more people. Vast tracts of empty land; vast, still-untapped natural resources; 37 million people in 9 million square km.; sound infrastructure; educated, productive populace.
India has about 1.3 billion people in under 3.3 million square km. with 1/6 Canada's per capita GDP. Population is a huge problem for them.
If Canada were to double its population in this century, they'd probably be better off. If the World does, we'll be screwed.
