Prime Minister Justin Trudeau made the pledge during the 2019 election campaign, and the goal was repeated during the government’s 2020 throne speech setting out policy objectives.
5 years and not much, 2-3 % of the goal
Heck if they had just asked every new immigrant/refugee to plant just 1 tree immediately they’d be much further into this goal.
I actually like the idea of such a program that I just dreamed up. Newcomers to Canada should be excited to fulfill their patriotic duty to plant 1 tree to “grow new roots” in their home country
- john-radio 3y agoI like it too!
- smnrchrds 3y ago2-3% x 2 billion = 40-60 million Canada's immigration rate is high, but not as high as 40-60 million newcomers in 5 years.

- gloryjulio 3y agoImmigration is not a problem. The number is. 1m+ per year is way too much. The devil is in the details.

- grecy 3y agoThe lowest common denominator is always to blame the “others” who are not “us”. I’m a white immigrant and on multiple occasions to my face people have said horrifically derogatory things about immigrants. When I mention I am one, they very quickly say “oh, not like YOU” Uh huh.
- neom 3y agoOne DAY not one tree!! Newcomers tree planting day! Let's also give a tax break to non-new comers who join that government tree planting day, 1% per year if you participate in 10 days? Dream big my fellow canuck, dream big! :)
