We essentially need the immigrants to prop up programs like pension for future.
Canada is too big, land area wise for the population it has to support major infrastructure.
So we need constant stream of new souls to collect taxes and help prop up the next group
- TylerE 4y agoI wouldn’t count the land area, really. It’s mostly tundra. Doesn’t something like 95% of the population live within 100 miles of the US border?
- vkou 4y agoMore than half of Canadians live south of Seattle, 80% of the country is completely uninhabited, and most of what is - is not much different in infrastructure (and the lack thereof) as the middle-of-nowhere parts of the US.
- dsq 4y agoA lot of Canada has no soil due to glaciers repeatedly scraping it off and dumping it in the US midwest.
- sergers 4y agoYea sorry if my point wasn't clear, I was basically trying to say this. Because of the vast distance between inhabitable area, it is very Costly to support connected infrastructure without the population needs to support it

- mrguyorama 4y ago"It's too big for infrastructure" is a garbage take made up by American conservatives to pretend our absurdly bad infrastructure is not directly their fault from neglect and lack of funding. Meanwhile, 80 years ago we had no problems literally covering the entire country with brand new highways and giant dams and bridges everywhere, so many that we don't even inspect them all right now. We could build infrastructure perfectly fine when we taxed high incomes and invested heavily in infrastructure. Canada is not a poor country and could very well afford such infrastructure as well.

- vkou 4y agoThe bones of the democratic party are 100% fiscally conservative.
