This is why the NDP wants a universal childcare system which i strongly support. Better to have our own in Canada born and raised here to import citizens of convenience to subsidize the programs Canadians demand from our government.
If canada let in say 150k immigrants a year we wouldn't have the crisis we have now to nearly the same degree, the immigrants would integrate easier and not form urban ethnic enclaves as easily, and Canada's population would NOT decline.

there are 11 million baby booomers in this country. they makes up about 30% of our entire population. The older ones are now in there early 70s. In about 10 years, they will start dropping like flies.
France works very hard at achieving a high birth rate and they are sitting around 2 birth per woman which is nowhere near high enough.
A million immigrants a year and perhaps the population will be stable which is frankly impossible.
I don't want to sound to paranoid, but hold crap this is not good. I would love to see a universal child care program, however, we won't be able to afford it once the boomers require medical attention.
