“Evidently, people are fine with living on top of each other as our population grows to 500 million, 700, and then into the billions... “
Right now, Canada has upped its LEGAL immigration to 1 million per year (multiply by 10 to get the relative scale for the USA).
We have had 200K immigrants per year, each year, every year for 50 years. That’s 10 million people plus their descendents all living in about 6 large cities.
Canada is currently in a housing and rental crisis.
A one bedroom apartment in Vancouver is now $3000 per month.
A family with the 90th percentile income cannot afford the median house price in Toronto.
Yet every political party continues to promote and support diversity and mass immigration.
Propaganda and Elite institution messaging works.
Like Sweden, Britain, etc., etc., Canada had such a good thing going, so the left changed their immigration laws to introduce chaos, violence, poverty, conflict and confusion at every level and new levels of difficulties and disagreement at every level of life including education and culture, all of which will destroy national unity, national identity, and a sense of national purpose, and will disconnect Canada from its roots of Western Civilization.
This was so predictable even in the 1960s on an international level, I can’t remember when Canada started the process.
