Corporate canada sold the myth its poor or middle class brown people's fault instead of their insatiable appetite for endless profits even if there isnt productive growth to match it. Galen Weston testifying to parliament during covid that he deserves to pursue profits even amidst a pandemic is exactly the problem.

Immigration isn't an answer either.

Allowing the middle class to actually exist, and flourish, is how you correct for a lack of children. You don't do it by taking adults (and potentially their kids eventually) from someplace else. That just isn't an actual solution at all.

Taxing corporations and making housing both attainable and the middle class existing is how you get people to decide they actually want kids. No one that looks at the state the world is in is likely to choose to bring more children into it if they have any thoughts other than "I want kids." I have a kid, but I'd never choose to have another because the world is in upheaval.

Immigration is a bandaid on a limb that has been lost. It's not helping.

I mean if people could afford to live have a nice life. Maybe they'd have jkids both parents working 40 plus hour weeks. Then the xist of child care how can people afford kids.
