In March this year, Canada had promised it would welcome 15,000 migrants from the western hemisphere. Two days later, the unofficial border crossing at Roxham Road was closed.

To improve the birth rate maybe make housing affordable, not bring more people in who will realize how expensive it is to have kids and then not have kids either.

ooooo sweeet 11,000 more people to fight with when looking for the non existant housing here.
11,000 more people to build houses.
City hall says no.
11,000 more people paying taxes and contributing to our economy.
11,000 more medical professionals available to hail on Uber to drive you from the hospital when you find it is closed due to lack of staff.
Why?
Lowest birth rate since 2005?

Agreed, but we need people, if we’re not making any then we need to import them. Idk about you but my province has an aging problem.
Who says we need people? We can’t even find homes and jobs for the people that are here already.
Maybe we shouldn’t put so much money into trying to make people live until they’re 120
Expecting old people to die earlier is a shitty solution.
Who said 120 years is early?
What would you consider an appropriate age to send them to the vultures then?
Do you have money problems? Try dying!
Not a day goes by where I don’t consider this.
I mean in the numbers we’re talking about 11,000 is kind of a rounding error.
