Attached: 1 image The #population of #Canada is expected to hit 40 million within the next day or two, according to #StatCan's modelling: https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/pub/71-607-x/71-607-x2018005-eng.htm #Cdnpoli

I disagree. We are already seeing the results of aging population. here is a report from stats Canada about it: https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/daily-quotidien/220427/dq220427a-eng.htm

We aren’t immigrating a lot of children, so that report isn’t particularly helpful at determining the actual balance. We also probably shouldn’t set our entire economy up to handle the wave of baby boomers, otherwise we’ll be simply creating another boom cycle in 40 years.
