  1. One million immigrants per year is a really ambitious number. I think they’d have to do some serious work to make sure everyone doesn’t end up in Toronto, Vancouver, and Montreal. Considering that currently 40% of all immigrants to Canada move to Toronto it would be crazy unsustainable to increase our city’s population by 400K a year.

  2. I was talking to my cousin about that. He was saying it’s basically a charter violation to force people to relocate to a particular place in the country. I’m not sure how you make other cities more attractive to immigrants. I agree that there is really no way Toronto can keep growing the way it has — at least with the various levels of government half-assing it the way they have been.

Don't be shy, you can comment too!

 
Some things to keep in mind: You can style comments using Textile. In particular, *text* will get turned into text and _text_ will get turned into text. You can post a link using the command "linktext":link, so something like "google":http://www.google.com will get turned in to google. I may erase off-topic comments, or edit poorly formatted comments; I do this very rarely.
