Yes, I think there will be some positives as far as the economy plus the feds in the long run are likely to pursue something more like 1-2% a year immigration, not 0% with a shrinking population. This is meant as a temporary correction and it is a policy choice.
I've said before that I notice a negative bias in reporting in NS/Halifax relative to other places. The "party's over!" announcement in NS was much louder, but the growth for the last 2 years has been relatively robust compared to Toronto or Vancouver. Metro Toronto actually lost population going into 2025.
