though our current immigration rate will see that go up by 1 million every 2.5 years :

20.3 million in the metro area

I think nyc is still bigger than mexico city

thats like 60% of our total populaytion. yet we have a housing crysis

XD

im upstate ny, we have dirt cheap housing cause no one lives here XD

Metro Vancouver is only 2.4 million, though I'm pretty sure 10 years ago it was 1.6 million 😐

"for the love of all that is holy invest in any other section of the country other than Toronto you bastards"

for refference

The population of New York State is 19,746,227, with 11,323,961 living in either New York City or Long Island, leaving 8,422,266 for the entire rest of the state. This means Upstate NY has a population density far lower than that of downstate.

granted its still decent population density compared to canada

almost 100% of our population lives within a 6 hour drive to the us border within the metropolitan area of 10 cities

Toronto is more similar to Chicago than NYC in terms of population.

although those figures are missleading

we have the 3rd largest landmass of any country, but we refuse to use most of it

the urban population of new york is 2 million higher, a million from buffalo, another million from other cities

well its cold XD

and its actualy 4th

the permafrost line is well into Nunavut!

not counting internal water, counting pure land, its russia china usa canada

counting internal water its russia canada china usa

distance, weather, and the cold.. big factors for that.

counting external water its russia usa canada china

I think northern manitoba and ontario would be the worst places to be in the winter...

but the usa is the only country that claims external water outside immediate coast that isn't immediately dismissed in doing so XD

we dont build any infra structure northwards. you go much more north in Ontario that Orillia and you will pretty much find nothing.

those deep polar colds that form there are just.. insane.

I flew over Manitoba once in the winter.. everything was just.. white.. everything. 🤣

i honestly think we need to work on expanding north. settling further apart, let new cities and towns grow.

or just continue being a beautiful mosaic untill you fall apart and america manifests some northward destiny

An invasion of canada would be seen as nothing less than taking candy from a baby

its not an invasion

by this point you have already fallen apart

ahh, missed that

fair enough.

somewhere between 20-25% of your population is first generation imigrants

I don't suspect the UK will save us 🤣

im not anti imigration but I suspect that will cause some problems

UK has it worse than us.

now? yes. But if we could reinvigorate the Canadian pride and culture that existed? not so much. we were one of the scourges in the world wars.

Population of Nova Scotia every 3 years.. yes.. that's going to have an affect.
