Re: Canada's population reaches 40M
#2I've been living in Canada for 8 years and I generally heard people referring to "35M people", which I believe will soon change to "40M" people.
Interesting that there is apparently a population clock that model's Canada's population: https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/pub/71-607-x/71-607-x2018005...
See also the Century Initiative: https://www.centuryinitiative.ca/ to reach 100M by 2100.

#3Congrats, Canada!
This has alerted me to the (IMO, pretty surprising) fact that all of Canada holds fewer people than the BosWash corridor.

This seems unsustainable. I thought the consensus was that environmental footprint should be reduced [1,2], not deliberately increased?

Edit: As expected, the Century Initiative is chaired by corporate lobbyists, and closely tied to Blackrock, that has massive investments in Canadian real-estate and would benefit from making housing more expensive:

I am also amused that Ontario, which is the most populous province has the following statistics:
Area: 1,076,395 km square
Population: 15.3M
Istanbul, which is the biggest city in my home country Turkiye has these: Area: 5,343 (so 200x smaller) Population: 18M (official census is ~16M but even the major cites 18M)
I'm not even comparing the much denser places in the world (e.g., Gaza).

Yet we have massive housing issues...

Doug Sanders (International-Affairs Columnist, The Globe and Mail) has a good book on this:

Name me a major western metro area with jobs and a good standard of living that doesn't. I remember people banging the drums 10 years agho "come to Berlin, there's so much empty houses". Yeah, that changed quickly.

The late Hans Rosling has a good presentation on this, "Don't Panic":

This is not Canadians making babies, which they do below the replacement limit as in other developed countries. This is massive levels of immigration. Canadians do have a bigger per capita environment footprint, but still it’s really just moving people around.
Whether those levels of immigration can be sustained without causing social problems is not yet known. Certainly housing is extremely unaffordable and taxes are very high.
