    That’s silly. Canada needs more people, and we will probably be forced to take in people from down south soon enough, if they have a hot/violent summer. We need to build up out of the current crises, not pretend we libe on the moon.

    Build up:

    • More walkable, transit oriented mixed use, dense and off market housing.
    • Fast track recognition of credentials of newly arrived professionals
    • Invest in interprovincial infrastructure: trains, renewables, smart grid, fast internet
    • A civil defence corps to prepare for climate resilience and emergencies
    • A civil service corps to rebuild and revitalize rural and indigenous communities
