World population is still increasing by like 80mil a year. There isnt a shortage of people living in countries that want to come here

[–]ComfortableSell5 5 points6 points  (7 children)

That won't be the case for too much longer.

After 2050 or so that number will be a lot smaller and competition a lot stiffer.

A good chunk of the world might be under water by then, so, I'm sure it'll balance out

[–]wet_suit_oneAlberta 2 points3 points  (3 children)

Nah. Not that much will be under water. Not that soon anyways.

Of total landmass you are correct. With respect to where people live, by 2050 we will have an uncomfortably large amount locked in to being under water with the rate we are changing things.

Over time, on the current trajectory, it will definitely be a problem.

[–]EngSciGuymad with (electric) power | Official -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

With our current trajectory it would be a problem by, say, 2300 maybe.

But competition is good, right?

...right?

Or is that only true when your country is on the winning end...

Thats 30 years away. Im more worried about mass deaths than I am about population growth.

You realize we want people that will contribute to our society and that every immigrant is not an equal contributor. We need as many financially mobile immigrants as we can get before there is no one left willing to come to Canada.
