I initially thought this was going to be another "immigrants bad" post that have been popping up everywhere, but was pleasantly surprised it's the opposite. It's a very well researched and articulated video, by an immigrant, about how Canada's small population affects its ability to have nice things and do good things, but growing our population has exposed a lot of poor policies and outdated systems.

It covers the housing crisis but also says that's just one thing in the spotlight. Canada has more than one issue that population growth is exposing. The government wants 100 million Canadians but the systems in place are struggling to maintain 40 million. We either make a lot of political changes so our population can match our land size, or we stay a tiny, sparsely populated country.

Thanks. I thought so too. I don't know why people are downvoting this.
