How will 100 million people in Canada help our economy? In one reference there is a reference to the US population in the 1920's. That was a labour intensive economy (today we have robots so that is not on the same playing field). Seems someone tends to think that having over 100 million people will help the economy using the US as a reference. Today we have 4-5 % unemployment (not included are retirees). Today in Cities we do not have the infrastructure to support the current population (just look at the traffic jams on the roads and commuter trains). How will it be if the population doubled, tripled?
When I was growing up in the 70s, the school teachers were saying stuff about how fast the world's population was growing, by the 1990s parents were having less than 2 children (at least the people I know), mostly because of quality of life for the 2 children they had and (mostly the women didn't feel like going through labour again). Religious people, welfare people, Native Aboriginals and politicians are the only sets of the population that are having more than 2 children. I think they think future voters or something like that or they are fucking without birth control....
China has a limit of 1 child (to limit their population growth). China and India have about 1 billion people. If you have ever been to those Countries, due to the mass of people, most of the people are poor. There are alot of poor people in Canada too. These people are on welfare or have min wage jobs, barely making ends meet at the end of the month. Food banks are active across the country. People live on the streets and immigrate to Vancouver and Victoria where its warmest in winter.
So with most people in the country burning fossil fuel to keep their house warm in the winter months, how will tripling households help climate change (prevent you from burning carbon to produce heat for your home in winter)?
My Grandparents had 8 to 12 siblings, my parents 4 to 5 siblings, my generation has 2-3.
Right now we are taking in over 200,000 immigrants a year, Canada can not afford to support most of these people on welfare, most will find min wage jobs, but will they get better jobs?
How will the education system work? Canada barely puts out young people from high school that can spell without a spellchecker (computer). Will universities be tripled in size to accommodate the increase in people, where will they expand to? Will universities have to lower their standards to support more people attending?
If we don't have the infrastructure now to support our population, how will it be if it is tripled to 100 million? Canada economy is mostly resource base and we take that and give it very cheaply to the rest of the world.
The only thing I see with 100 million people is that the system will create more welfare people (dependent on the government), creating a voting block for social parties.
