Trudeau is aiming at 100 million people, I don't know where they will live however, in the streets?
Itβs not Trudeau, stop blaming everything on him.
https://www.centuryinitiative.ca/why-100m
Even before this initiative was brought up we were still on pace to hit 100 million people before 2100.
Source?
a lot of them https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=trudeau+100+millions
You really should check your results before sending off google searches. The only english link in that entire set of results is for some random think tank suggesting it. I even checked the french results and found that the government specifically pushed back against such a suggestion as recently as a few months ago. https://ici.radio-canada.ca/nouvelle/1978949/demographie-immigration-cibles-canada
Trudeau has done a lot of stupid shit, but this doesn't appear to be one of those things.
well, 500'000 per year is what federal wants https://ici.radio-canada.ca/nouvelle/1929447/immigration-canada-nouveaux-seuils
Anyway, it's too much for our housing, whoever decides it or if it is 500k or 1m per year
I don't want to know the yearly target, I want to know the end goal. As I said, infinite growth isn't a sustainable target.
Canada does have the second-largest land area of any country on Earth, second only to Russia. I wouldn't think that space would be a terrible constraint for Canada.
Canada has more area in total, but China and the USA have more land area specifically.
