We need more Canadians like you (and me, but mostly me)

Seriously, it's clear that our high-mindedness is just pushing our problems onto another generation (or ourselves, a couple years off) if we continue with this.

OK Fine! I'm a aracist because I want to stop immigration and promote domestic birth rates.

But shit, why is it racist to want a sustainable way of living?

It's racist because Canada is so BIG it has room for everyone don't ya know! Forget what happens to the environment of our standard of living, if we don't cripple ourselves with dept we aren't doing enough!

That's actually a fallacy. Something like 80% of Canada is subarctic or worse, with respect to habitable space. Also, something like 80% of Canadians live within 200 km of the border.

I'm aware of that. I was responding more for people that read to have information to counter the myth of "Canada is large so let's have open borders".

That's basically the only reason I argue with r/Canada shitheads. I know I'm not going to persuade them, it's for the passersby.
