    “Cells must continue to divide uncontrollably!” says cancerous tumour.

    So we have a smaller economy, so fucking what!? Does line always have to go up? Can we not just make a reasonable profit and cover expenses with a little bit left over for a nice dinner out? Are you fuckers not already rich enough?

    Tell you what, here’s the deal: you have have a hundred million people if we can have marginal tax rates like it’s 1960 again.

      The problem is world power. Economic power is the power of the day, and to have it, you need population. The biggest powers in the world have hundreds of millions of people. Our closest ally and neighbour has over 400,000,000 people.

      we can either, grow our population and therefore our basic economic engine capabilities with that, or, not participate in the leadership at a world stage (like the G7).

      That’s the existential question you have to ask. what do you want for Canada?
