Answered three times. I've been clear what to do with complaints. Are you threatening to ban me because you don't like the answer to the question now? Is that a rule too? "Must give answer mod likes or mod will ban you?" Repeatedly asking for an answer to a question i've answered is weird.

"No where to live for immigrants".

Vancouver population in 1990 1,559,000

Vancouver population in 2023 2,657,000


Somehow 1,098,000 people found homes with vacancy rates essentially unchanged since 1990.

How?

well that would mean our population would decline.' And that's a serious problem for several reasons. It's not like we're replacing ourselves.

BUT - seriously restricting immigrtation for a couple of years might help and give a kickstart without doing TOO much damage provided you were very specific about who you did let in and if they were excellent choices to fill our worst labour shortages.

But it woudln't do much moving forward unless some of those other critical changes happened. The problem has just gotten too large.

But, we have to start somewhere. ANd cutting back on the source of the problem is a good place to start.
Maybe we should be extending more energy and money on correcting the political situation in their respective countries. For the most part what we would consider desirable immigrants are also much needed at home to help reshape their country. And at least some of the immigrants we are getting, no one wants.

Many things are based financially & functionally on the concept of a population pyramid with the elderly at the top being the pointy end….like OAS. Without the wide base, & an ever thickening top portion (aging population that isn’t dying fast enough) it’ll collapse the health care and pension industries.

Think of it like insurance. If everyone that pays insurance premiums tries to collect on it in a short amount of time, what happens? No more insurance, or skyrocket rates.

Now if people are living longer, and not even replacing themselves population wise, leaving less & less people to do the work & keep paying the bills on the wide end of the pyramid….who’s going to buy the TP let alone wipe your butt when you’re no longer able to?

The solution might be, if immigration isn’t the answer & we’re not only not maintaining but decreasing our population as we go along, maybe a population purge like “Logan’s Run” or a more effective COVID 19.
In the above movie, the premise was they’d just put a cap in your arse at the age of Thirty.

Without a growing base to the population pyramid, and people living so long, at what age do we start snuffing out the elderly? 65? 50? 35? Got to be somewhere before retirement age at least.

I think the day before their 65th birthday. THat way we get full tax revenue without having a payout. Excluding those of us that are already collecting a pension of course. We will be grandfathered in.
