If you’re wondering what the future could hold for Canada we should look at our geographical cousin, Russia.
80% of their population sits to the left of the Ural Mountains or in what they call “European Russia”, much like Canada’s density along our southern border.
In Siberia, starting in 2022, entire resource extraction sites have been replaced by autonomous vehicles. People sit in their offices now and track the logistics of an automated fleet driving through complete darkness.
Labour for GDP is a temporary fix, and prioritizing harmonious public spaces and clear governance makes a lot more sense than artificial population inflation.
The average Canadian’s voting power and economic purchasing power gets literally lower on average as each “low skill” or non wealthy migrant comes in. We are slowly killing ourselves with our own bandaid.
Ew ok, maybe 30% of the global workforce then. Still Canada is safe and 16CAD$ is wealth in more places then you would think if you were able to put some into savings.
That sounds terrible tbh I wish the whole world was as safe as Canada so the capitalists wouldn’t have cheap labour supply :(
That sounds quite nice! However, Canada has been food independent since the 1890s!! lol. We do not need them.
Free housing + Minimum wage in Canada would probably appeal to 70+% of the global workforce if it was offered lol. That doesn’t mean we should do it. Less than 50,000 detached homes were built across the entire country this year but I guess that doesn’t include on site accommodation. Which Fr sounds nice
@Karliido@ericvideos91 No they are not??? Over 60% of tfws in Canada are getting paid minimum wage, with another 25% driving trucks. Greenhouse and agricultural work is not minimum wage labour in Canada and actually very non reliant on human capitol. Where do you get your information from?
@TheAliceSmith Never actually black pill the average person is just busy and the west has trusted our media for generations. So much of the population still doesn’t think not to, because the legacy system was pretty good!
@TiagoPerez08@EdwardMurrayCA Idc about that tbh I just think its hard for him to think about immigration objectively. I don’t even blame him, he should just confront the thought fully lol
I don’t even blame Him, he probably loves his wife. He should just run as a liberal imo - pre 2016 his social governance policy is def to the left of centre. I agree we should streamline the bureaucracy needed to start a business in Canada but that’s the best idea I’ve heard from him tbh and it’s a very simple one.
@EdwardMurrayCA His wife is an immigrant he literally can’t be anti immigration. He doesn’t even want to acknowledge Canadian culture because doing so is directly against his wife’s interests in his mind. So of course he cant conserve it.
They need to develop their own countries. By taking people who can fill out an application form, and have prerequisite skills required for the west, we are literally draining these countries from the most competent sectors of their workforce.
Globally this sets us on a terrible pattern, where all of the abundance is concentrated and the rest of the world needs a babysitter, instead of equally capable nations of sovereign, independent people.
Mass migration does not help anybody except the capitalists who profit off of their labour and the politicians who appeal to them for votes.
Not all of them, the eu has open borders so if a migrant lands in Italy he has access to most of the eu, but even still some countries have enacted protective anti mass migration policies (Italy, Denmark, Japan, Switzerland, Greece, etc). We all know what ICE has been up to in the U.S, they’ve completely reformed their immigration policy since 2020. But most of the west is intertwined economically and culturally so it is def a shared issue to an extent.
At least we’re not alone!
Pierre Poilievre should step down, he is not a conservative.
The CPC needs a new leader if it wants to present itself as a serious political alternative to the current regime.
@TheAliceSmith “British peasants need to die because of the east India company” but violent criminals are just a product of their environment and are innocent.
The 2024 Bank of Canada staff paper finds at least 40% of Canadians whose ability would place them in the top 1% of earners reside outside Canada (mainly the US). Using income distribution data, this selective emigration of high-ability workers accounts for much of the Canada-US GDP per adult and productivity gaps, as the top 10% drives three-quarters of the difference. Absent those outflows, the top bracket would be substantially larger.
@DavidCan2002@grok explain the Bank of Canada study that suggests our top 1% earning bracket would have double its current population if Canadian high earners didn’t consistently emigrate to the United States
@DoDeportations That is not what these stats show lol it’s really not close, it’s new births that are almost equal and it’s from dense urban fertilization practices of new immigrants.
That’s literally the number for new babies. Overall 33+ million of the population is “white”
