I guess things are really going to be grim for small nations that don't open their borders to millions of immigrants from the failed states of the world.

Yes, unless nations like Norway, or New Zealand, or Australia or many of the other consistently highest ranking "liveablity" nations decide to emulate Canada, their standards of living will collapse.

Ironic isn't it? In a world headed for a population apocalypse, 9 billion by 2050, 12 billion by 2100, the Canadian left-liberal brain trust has determined that unless Canada allows in millions from basket cases like  Africa, or India, or the Muslim world - failed regions all, we are doomed.

Because our standard of living, the highest in humankind's history, is apparently an illusion.

Meanwhile, the Globe's favorite immigration apologist, Dougie Saunders, makes the case that Canada is doomed unless it reaches 100 million people. Just think: 40 million in southern Ontario, 25 million in BC's lower mainland...

Imagine. Paradise.
