“This is a trend that we have to get on top of now. If we stop growing we will have a smaller economy. If we stop growing, we’ll be less important in the world, as the rest of the world grows around us.”
Wiseman added that a larger population means greater contributions into social programs like health care and education. However, he also cautioned that an eye towards large-scale growth will also require immediate action to build out transit, housing, education and – crucially – child care, which would allow a greater number of women to contribute to the workforce.
Our governments can’t plan a few years ahead, let alone decades. We haven’t been able to line up healthcare, child care, transit, or housing improvements to cover the relatively small population increase of the last ten years.
If we want to have 100 million people, we need to build a country that can support them. We struggle to adequately support our existing population.
We need to build more and denser housing. We need a better transportation plan than everyone driving a SUV down the 401. We need a healthcare system that can support everyone.
