Statistics Canada Reports II

[ssiguy]

One of the most striking figures out of this report is that Alberta was the only province to register both an inter-provincial gain and a net natural population growth. If immigration dropped to zero tomorrow, all of our 5 largest provinces would suffer population decline save Alberta.

This is a good chunk of the reason why we have a massive housing crisis and a healthcare system on the verge of collapse. How can demographers plan for future needs when population growth forecasts are not based upon scientific measure but rather immigration which is a political decision? There was an ability to do so traditionally as the Libs/Cons had generally allotted for population {and immigration rates} roughly equate to 1% a year.........a manageable level.

Of course, then came Trudeau who has thrown this mutual understanding straight out the window leaving Canada woefully unprepared for the massive influx made vastly worse by the fact that the qualifications for getting into the country requires one to just be able to fog a mirror.
