Current Issues
Canada's cities are growing very rapidly, driven largely by mass immigration. *
The impacts of this growth are:
- Congestion
- Loss of prime farmland
- Myriad of social issues
- Housing inflation
- Debt
- Higher service costs and taxes
- Lower quality of life
The energy forecast was fair in the 1950s, 60s and 70s when energy costs were low and declining. Now the clouds are rolling in and Canadian society is stumbling in its efforts to transition to renewable energy. A constructive national conversation is critical to our ability to navigate looming climate and energy transition challenges. Media corporations have a responsibility to contribute to that conversation.
For more than a decade, the Productivity Commission (PC) has debunked the common myth that immigration can overcome population ageing.
