@BagelPolling Exactly. Canada so far has gotten to 40,000,000 people from the vigorous lovemaking of Champlain’s original 100 settlers, no immigration needed
2100 = three generations from now.
To get to 100 mil from 42 mil in 74 years entails population growth of a little less than 1.2 per cent per year. Actual population growth over the last 74 years: 1.44 per cent per year.
So the scary, scary proposition that this professional fear-monger would like you to lose your mind over is ... to slow down population growth by about a fifth.
No doubt if you had told people in 1952, when the population was less than 15 million, that Canada's population in 2026 would be nearly 42 million, they would have panicked, too. How will we ever feed all those people? How will we ever employ them? etc In fact, employment grew faster than population (4x vs 2.9x). Per capita GDP has more than quadrupled. etc etc.
Or rather no, probably they wouldn't have panicked. Because our politics had not yet been overrrun by such chronic bed-wetters.
@pureMetatron@enemycharlie “Learn empathy and stop being racist” from the same neckbeard who calls democrats “slaves of satan” and says we need to vote republican to “save the white race”
@pureMetatron@hauraakjinj How could you possibly write all of that out with a serious expression on your face? Do you not even second guess it a little bit?
@DanielTyrie Canada was constructed by many different ethno-cultural groups such as the French, English, Metis, Inuit, and First Nations as well as dozens of eurasian groups such as Irish,Germans, Ukrainians, Indians, Chinese, Filipinos and many more. Hope this helps!
Holocaust denier “leftists” being a thing now is still hard for me to wrap my head around. This would be unthinkable 10 years ago. It’s like someone’s caricature of the horseshoe theory
@waffenJohnSmith@mashakleiner Discounting all the antisemitism slop, jewish people are actually a good example of what a nation actually is. They do have a common language (hebrew) a common culture (the religion of judaism) and a common history (ancient israel)
@waffenJohnSmith@mashakleiner LMAO Do all white people from the USA, to Bulgaria, to Finland, to Italy share a common language, culture, history, ethnicity or traditions? No they don’t dumbass
