    If our food supplies weren’t keeping up with population so Loblaws made more money would you be bootlicking Loblaws or calling for the government to invest in food production?

    I don’t find municipals blameless, its just their individual incentives, and some have rezoned like BC. But from a macro level it is clearly mass immigration leading to the rapid rise in prices, and thats the federal government who signs that.

      Canada needs a bigger population to compete on the world stage and to defend our vast nation.

      If builders or other industries can’t keep up, they need to step up or be supplemented or subverted. Canada’s population density is effectively zero. With greater military and economic threats, trying to diminish our population isn’t the way to go.
