Implanting 1 Million Canadians a Year

Canada has a plan to combat its faltering population growth.
That plan is to implant new Canadian’s until our population hits, 100 Million by 2100.

This isn’t a new plan, no. But it certainly has become a popular talking point as of late.
But why?
Let’s explore 6 of the factual reasons for implanting 1M Canadian’s a year for the next 80 years.

Reason 1: Birth Rates
Canadian’s aren’t having as many children as they once were, birth rates per 1000 people have fallen pretty steadily over the years.
According to the United Nations the current birth rate for Canada in 2020 is 10.300 births per 1000 people, a 0.73% decline from 2019.

Canada has an extremely low birthrate compared to it’s population, in terms of G7 nations; around 370–380k new Canadian’s are born each year.

Reason 2: Scaling Community Facilities/Support
Canada currently cannot logistically support the influx of that many new people, we need to be able to integrate housing and support services including community resources and most importantly jobs.
Our current government has suggested an increase from roughly 250,000 implants per year, to a neat increase of 350,000.

That means jobs for Canadian’s in every sphere; infrastructure, healthcare, law, social supports, engineers, retail workers, teachers you name it, we’ll need more.

Herbert Grubel, a professor of economics (emeritus) at Simon Fraser University said in a piece for the Vancouver Sun:

in the absence of the proportional system for elections, the very size of Canada’s population resulting from the proposed 450,000 immigrants is likely to create ethnic enclaves where alien languages and cultural institutions dominate life and where, like in Richmond, B.C., it is virtually possible to be born, educated, entertained, work, retire and die without knowing a word of English.

There’s no pretending that first nations already do this, and very well should.
Cultural identity doesn’t detract from Canadian values, and we are a country that can accommodate a multitude of backgrounds, Canada is also no stranger to diversity.

Reason 3: More French Speaking Immigrants
This problem is two-pronged, in the sense that we have a requirement in Canada that there be proportionate education, immigration and signage across Canada, while also being unable to accept enough people from certain French speaking — and other nations.
Sometimes causing unsettling results.
Canadians also can’t adopt children from some French speaking countries such as Senegal.

Reason 4: Climate Change
Canada is; like all nations, affected by climate change.
Nasa has predicted that by the year 2100, Canada will be — infinitely warmer.
The weather of Canada over the next century will resemble the early US temperatures in the early 19th century.
In a ‘zero sum’ worst case scenario, if all the ice on earth melted and the sea levels rose 200+ ft world wide, countries like Japan, the Philippines and others would be tiny islands. and countries like Canada would have a few coastal cities like Vancouver disappear but would still have mostly workable land and in the absence of permafrost we would easily be able to unlock the energy, minerals and other natural resources currently out of reach in the tundra.

Canada harbors 1/5 of the word’s fresh water and we practically give it away.
We have the second largest landmass with the 49th largest population.
Something doesn’t add up.

Nestle and other water bottling companies pay Ontario $503.71 per one million litres, about five cents for 100 litres of water.

Reason 5: Increased GDP
Canada’s GDP is 1/10th of the United States at $1.8 trillion in 2018.
Our population reflects this number, and with a larger population, properly educated and prepared to unlock Canadian resources and unleash Canadian potential, we could be poised to not only triple our population but our GDP as well.

Reason 6: New Workers
Our Aging population
As Canada’s Median Age hits, (41 at this minute) we have less and less time to replace vital workers. Simultaneously we face serious economic threats if those thresholds are not met.
Currently there is a 1:4 ratio of tax payers, versus a retired Canadian.
Over the next 10–20 years that ratio will slip to 2:4, meaning two workers for every two retired Canadian’s.
