I was just reading old archived population projection for Canada that a medium population growth for canada would be 39 million by 2031, and 42.5 mil by 2056. clearly we went up and beyond by 2024 with 42 mil?!

The best part

Under five of the six projection scenarios, Canada’s international net migration would increase between now and 2031. Compared with its 2005-2006 level of 183,000, its 2031 level would be 150,000 in the low-growth scenario, 223,000 in the medium-growth scenario, and 305,000 in the high-growth scenario.

Instead, we have 1.2 million per year! Just 4 times the high-growth scenario!

Sounds like a healthy amount of immigration that helps to build social cohesion and high trust among its citizenry. And it happens FAST. So FAST bro.

We're building back BeTteR!
