suspicious coming from Conservative owned media

Postmedia, of which the Toronto Sun is a subsidiary, is majority owned by Chatham Asset Management. The founder of CAM is a well known GOP supporter. Postmedia group articles should be considered, at best, pro-American interest propaganda...if not outright election interference.
We have Stephen Harper to thank for opening the loopholes that allowed Postmedia group to be wholly owned by American VCs.

The Total Fertility Rate(TFR) of Canada hit a historic low of 1.33 national average in 2022.
Here's a Kurzgasagt video on why TFR below 2.1 is actually really bad. There needs to be more support for immigrants, and don't fool yourself that Canada, or even most "1st world countries", will be fine without immigrants. In 30 years Canada, without a regular injection of people, would be top heavy on the age demographic graph. 100 years and the US wouldn't have to try hard to annex us, there'd be almost no one left young enough to actually put up an effective resistance.
I live in Scotland, the TFR here is even lower, with a lower base population, and more people buy the Tory and Reform propaganda about armies of illegal Muslims outbreeding law abiding white folk.
I hate to agree, even tangentially, with the Elongated Muskrat....as a whole, humans do need to figure out how to at least maintain our current population. A great way to do that is for people in high population countries to move to lower population countries. Are there going to be problematic people? Sure, I guess. There's already people who are problematic born in Canada, or the UK.

I know this is a bit of a rant, sorry for unloading. Built up frustration with people willingly sticking their face in the leopard's mouth.....
