There are elements of Canadian society which one cannot help but find peculiar. That is, if citizens were to become aware of the circumstances in the first place.
According to federal government policy, there are two related issues which justify Canada maintaining the highest per-capita immigration quotas on earth. The first is an aging population, based on the post-World War 2 “baby boomer” phenomenon. This co-exists with a need for people to fill employment gaps resulting from our aging population.
What has never been posited by government or media is simple in conception: why did a series of federal governments permit a population erosion to occur? Are citizens in 2021 to believe Canada’s leading institutions could not predict the inevitability of a shrinking population? This kind of thing doesn’t occur overnight. There were decades upon which to establish policy to rectify a demographic shortcoming.
