@vtchakarova Timescales for nations are much longer than the current political conditions. The EU and USA will ultimately decide that together is better than going it alone. The current divisive politics are transitory. A rational cooperative alliance will eventually win out.

Brazil elections are very consequential for all of South America.
Bolsonaro will lead a Right political wave and allow for US resurgence and dominance of the region. Lula will maintain a Left stand and independent Global South pushback to US hegemony.

@Captain4thTurn@TorontoStar It's not open door, come on in any and all. It is managed admittance based on where there is need and matched to skills... and based on the Federal investments being made, it is possible that there will be a need. When managed, it is a good thing.
@Captain4thTurn@TorontoStar Productivity is an important factor, true. But Canada needs workers now to build the economy and productivity investments that are planned.
But also, Canada needs to bulk up for its own defense and needs more people for that. 41m people won't keep aggressors out.

@TorontoStar Yes, Canada needs immigration to grow, preferably into new settlements and not pile all into overcrowded cities.
Better, do something about the birth rates.
