      Canada’s fertility rate is below replacement level. You’ll need people to move there to keep your economy going and programs funded. The median age is over 40 and keeps increasing too, so not sure what will happen when it gradually approaches 60 over the next 20 years and everyone starts trying to retire with no one to pay for it.

        Yeah so? The people moving from US are going to be privileged boomers with money not young people.

        And why are people not having kids. Everything is to expensive. You cant have a one income family anymore and if you have kids most of one income is going to child care.
