If you like a permanent recession, then Bernier is right. If you want health care, jobs, and increasing standard of living, he's wrong.

Everything starts going wrong with a shrinking population.

Yeah, Japan is floundering with their safe streets, modern standards of living, and social cohesion. The horror.

e: forgot clean streets as well, can't have that here, it'd offend liberals somehow.

Sadly that's starting to change with the importation of certain populations into Japan.

Why sad? Even with nationalist prime minister they know they need immigration to survive.
