Immigration fuels record-high population growth in Canada
[quote]
Canada has seen a record boom in its population, with Ottawa
citing higher immigration targets and a “record-breaking year
for the processing of immigration applications” as being
responsible for the increase.
The most recent bump has also been fuelled by new citizens from
abroad, with international migration accounting for nearly 96
percent of the growth.
Trudeau’s government has doubled the pre-existing target for
welcoming newcomers since coming to power in 2015. A record
437,180 immigrants landed in Canada in 2022. That number is
scheduled to rise to 500,000 per year by 2025.
Statistics Canada said that “high job vacancies and labour
shortages” have fuelled the high rate of immigration. It also
noted Canada’s ageing population, with one in seven residents
between the ages of 55 and 64, providing opportunity to welcome
more people.

Why Overpopulation is Actually a Problem
[quote]In this Our Changing Climate climate change video essay,
I look at why the myth of overpopulation is actually a problem.
Specifically, I look at how overpopulation is leading to
dangerous conclusions both on the right and the left. On the
right, it's leading to conclusions of population control,
murder, and ethnic cleansing. On the [FALSE]-left, it manifests
as birth control access, but is still couched in the ideas of
population control. Overpopulation is ultimately a myth that at
best distracts from the needed work of climate action, and at
worst leads to violence.[/quote]

From the True Left perspective birth is violence since no one
consented to being born into this world in the first place.

[quote]Humans Are on the Verge of a 'Population Correction' by
2099, Scientist Warns
...
Humans pollute and deplete the very resources they need to
survive. Bio-ecologist William Rees, professor emeritus at the
University of British Columbia’s School of Community and
Regional Planning, says it with even a little more gumption. He
believes that the exhaustion of resources will lead to a
“population correction” in this century.
In a study published in World, Rees calls the entire situation
an “advanced overshoot” of population. “We are consuming and
polluting the biophysical basis of our own existence,” he wrote.
And it can’t last.
Rees says that climate change is the best-known symptom of this
overshoot, but the mainstream solutions will only accelerate
climate disruption and worsen the overall problem. “Humanity is
exhibiting the characteristic dynamics of a one-off population
boom-bust cycle,” he wrote in the study. “The global economy
will inevitably contract, and humanity will suffer a major
population correction in this century.”
Any such population correction would be a stark about-face from
the growth the world has seen over the last two centuries. In
1800, the world’s population hovered around 1 billion people.
Now, roughly 200 years later, that population has ballooned to
about 8 billion.
The exponential reproduction, as Rees dubs it, has led humans to
expand geographically and consume all available resources. And
while in history, that expansionist tendency was countered by
the natural environment’s “negative feedback,” the increase of
scientific resourcefulness and fossil fuels has enabled humans
to “realize our full potential for exponential growth.”[/quote]
So, which one civilization is to blame for this?
[quote]But therein lies the issue. Humans can grow and maintain
a population only by consuming and extracting the resources from
the ecosphere, all while sending waste back in return. That
population boom in two centuries, all on a finite planet, “has
thus propelled modern techno-industrial society into a state of
advanced overshoot.”
Not only is our reliance on fossil fuels impacting various
aspects of our existence, but Rees says that additional
overshoot stresses—from consuming biomass to upheaval in
planetary nutrient cycles—have considerable negative impacts as
well. Together, he claims that they push us toward that
potentially dire correction.
By relying on our typical short-sighted view of the world that
has humans taking what they can when resources are available, we
have left ourselves very little room for existence when the
availability of resources greatly diminishes.
The only direction to go from here, Rees wrote, is the
inevitable correction of our population. That correction could,
according to his paper, drop the population to no more than 3
billion and as few as 100 million
...
he believes that only the rich will be able to survive the
coming correction, noting that a “collapse is not a problem to
be solved, but rather the final stage of a cycle to be endured.”
“Global culture is beginning to unravel,” he wrote, “and that
the one-off human population boom is destined to bust.”[/quote]
Who deserves to survive the correction? Those from the
civilization which set it up, or those from the civilizations
which did not set it up? Yet it appears as though those who are
likely to survive it are precisely those who least deserve to
survive it.
If we want any realistic chance of a different outcome, we need
borders totally open and lots of firearms in the hands of
climate refugees.

Muslims still have the highest fertility rate among India’s
major religious groups, followed by Hindus at 2.1. Jains have
the lowest fertility rate (1.2). The general pattern is largely
the same as it was in 1992, when Muslims had the highest
fertility rate at 4.4, followed by Hindus at 3.3. But the gaps
in childbearing between India’s religious groups are generally
much smaller than they used to be. For example, while Muslim
women were expected to have an average of 1.1 more children than
Hindu women in 1992, the gap had shrunk to 0.5 by 2015

In 1976, during emergency, Sanjay Gandhi forced MusIims and ugIy
poor people to undergo mass forced sterilisation, he sterilised
6.2M people in a year and unofficially 11.1M (1cr) in two years,
(more than nazis did) and kiIIed many, he was the kind of
dictator India needs today.

What a waste of bloodlines! If only those 11.1M had been
encouraged to emigrate to Britain/Canada/Australia/etc. instead!
