That's my view. The "Century Initiative" is being criticized for suggesting that Canada should reach 100 million by 2100. But you'd never believe it, the criticism is that this is too many people, and not many people criticise this "Iniative" as having an unambitious goal.
replyThe criticism of the Century Initiative is that the extra 60-80 million are going to come largely from countries like India at rates that destablize Canada while further entrenching the kind of inequality that we've seen grow over the past 15 years.
replyThe British did this to almost 20 different colonies, with the same people groups for the same reasons.
Is that what it said in the Century Initiative? That it would come "largely from countries like India"? Show me where it says that I'm open to it.
replyCentury Initiative obviously doesn't specify from which countries, it merely mentions skilled immigration as its primary source of growth.
replyHowever if you take a step back and wish to argue in good faith, and look at where people did come from when Trudeau decided to open the flood gates 10 years ago, you'll find that India represents roughly 40% of immigrants. I'd say that can be described as "largely", and there is no reason to believe that opening the gates even wider would change those proportions.
