In an opinion piece post in the February 7, 2024 issue of the Westerly News, Bruce W. Uzelman nailed the negative economic consequences of mass immigration and the resulting population surge.

It is rare that a scientist or someone as technically accomplished as Art Berman writes a succinct article on something as complex as climate change. But the article below develops just two clear concepts and should be all most people need to be able to absorb the enormity of the challenge climate change represents.

Canadian banks, Bank of Montreal, ScotiaBank and TD Bank, are funding the mass-immigration advocacy group, Century Initiative (** link below) whose goal is to increase Canada’s population by 60 million people by 2100. Why would banks support this lobby group? Because the resulting housing inflation – home price increases – produces scores of billions of dollars annually in profit for them.

Calls in the media and from politicians for “growth” have been non-stop for decades even as our social and environmental problems worsen. But who really needs growth? The vast majority of people benefit from progress – making things better – rather than creating a bigger version of a system which is failing them.

Canada’s policy of mass-immigration, by adding 12 million people to our population over the past 40 years, has had a broad array of profound impacts on both the land and the people of this country.

Ageing is a natural trend towards an increase in the proportion of older people in our population and will continue until the Canadian population stabilizes.
