Birth-right citizen Canadians just aren’t having enough children to make that work in a modern economy requiring a big base of young workers.
Sure we have enough housing to support our slowing aging/dying native-born population if we shut off immigration. That’s not actually an improvement at all.
We agree that cost of living + housing costs are cratering entrepreneurship, and that the simple effect of supply (slow home building, restrictive zoning) and demand (more people/immigration) is at play.
However, I think it’s not an option to slow down on either immigration or keep the current slow trickle of residence building as-is. We need BOTH faster, because we let this problem fester.
