An aging population is an issue for any party that is in powerThey had bodies in '66 and beyond. Canadian born and bred bodies galore. They imported bodies too. Those bodies are retiring now in record numbers with not enough Canadian born and bred bodies to in the workforce to support social programs for retirees.
The ratios and data that I provided are straight form the diehard, right-wing conservative ideological think-tank the Fraser Institute. Think your idol Pee-Pee think man think.
It provides the basis for the need to have an adequate work force population to maintain and sustain economic and societal survivability.
The open boarder policy of the Trudeau government clearly has not work as it caused strain on housing , health care and infrastructure and did not address the shortage of skilled labor issue.
we do require immigration, however we need to bring in people with in-demand skills, not just warm bodies
quality vs quantity
and now it will have to be done at a slower measured pace
this would also help our woeful productivity per capita ratio which has lagged behind g7 peers
a govt debt cries is now far more likely to happen due to past liberal fiscal mis-management than a tax revenue decline due to demographic changesnot enough Canadian born and bred bodies to in the workforce to support social programs for retirees.
are you so ideologically blinded that you are unable to see how ongoing deficits and unsustainable government debt put all social support programs at risk ?
why the loonie left ignores this is perplexing
you can not survive as an individual if you constantly spend more than you make and the train wreck just approaches faster if you borrow more than you can repay
yet the loonie left views govt as a bottomless well of money to be spent inefficiently on a never ending list of wants.
the truth is loonie left views govt as the vehicle for wholesale wealth redistribution, but wont admit that publicly.
every decision is risk/ reward
the loonie left ignores the risk half of the equation as they do not care if they put other peoples money at risk
