ANALYSIS: To Reverse Canada’s Declining Birth Rate, Cultural Changes May Be More Important Than Economic Ones
Tesla CEO and X owner Elon Musk says the “biggest problem that humanity faces is population collapse.” The business magnate isn’t the only one to point out the severity of the declining birth rates situation that many countries face.
A Lancet study published in March warned that by the end of the century, fertility rates in 198 out of 204 countries will be too low to sustain their populations, with Sub-Saharan Africa accounting for one in every two children born.
While many governments, such as Sweden, Norway, and Taiwan, have attempted pro-natalist economic policies to encourage their citizens to have more children, they have ultimately been largely ineffective in reversing the decline.

Ipsos polling done exclusively for Global News shows 68 per cent of Canadians want Trudeau to step down. The desire for him to call it quits is highest in Alberta (79 per cent) and Atlantic Canada (76 per cent.)
Of course Blackie’s Star attempts some feeble Cheerleading
With the polls stacked against him, here’s why Justin Trudeau still thinks he can win the next election
Justin Trudeau is no doubt acutely aware of just how much Liberals need a morale boost right now.
Several weeks ago, the prime minister reportedly told his cabinet that winning in 2025 is definitely still a possibility, which many Liberals — not just ministers — are desperate to believe.
On Monday evening, in an exclusive interview with CBC’s Power and Politics, Trudeau said something similar in his conversation with host David Cochrane.
