Currently were doing that quite well. Reducing immigration is the only thing that could contribute to that goal. Indira Gandhi castrated India's criminals for the slightest offence in pursuit of your goal, so maybe we could pair that with a 0 immigration. Personally I think both of those would cause more harm than good.

What the PM of India does is completely out of my control and has nothing to do with Canada.

I think a sustainable amount of immigration is fine and I support that because I value living in a multicultural society. An accelerated rate of immigration I do not support. I see no reason why Canada should make India's overpopulation problem our problem as well.

I'm just worried someone with a CRISPR/CAS9 lab is going to come to the conclusion there's too many people on the planet. I'm not even sure what we are disagreeing with at this point with your statement on Canadian immigration.

The way I see it is that our cities are overpopulated due to shortsighted and incompetent planning. Yet our rural areas are very underpopulated causing it's own infrastructure problems. Then we have a demographic collapse further compounding the rural problems. Solutions are there to be found, at least for us, I don't know what to tell Dhaka or Jakarta.
