- Actually, we are short of space. The fact that most Canadians live in a
- narrow ribbon along the border is no accident. The rest of the country is
- without jobs or infrastructure and will not support people except at a
- subsistence level.
-
- In any case, you should read "Beyond the Limits" by Dennis Meadows et al
- which notes that environmental impact is a function of the number of
- people times their affluence times the adverse effects of their
- technology. Under that definition, one Canadian does far more
- environmental damage than a residents of most of the world and the number
- of Canadians we have now does an incredible amount of damage. So what you
- are arguing for is more pollution.
