Trudeau is aiming at 100 million people, I don't know where they will live however, in the streets?

[-] nicktron@kbin.social 8 points 1 year ago

It’s not Trudeau, stop blaming everything on him.

Even before this initiative was brought up we were still on pace to hit 100 million people before 2100.

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.
