Petition Calling for a Canadian Population Policy


FACTS:

 

-Canada is importing about 250,000 immigrants annually (70% of Canada's 1% annual
population growth), which will result in a doubling of our population to 66 million
in 70 years


-
Canada's best farm land is being paved over to expand subdivisions, roads and
businesses to accommodate all these new immigrants


-
Canada's natural resources are being plundered at a rate proportional to its
population


-As
Canada's population grows, its biodiversity declines proportionally

ASSERTION:


We, the undersigned believe that:


Canada needs an official population policy based on an optimum population.
The optimum population should be lower than
Canada's present population in order
to:


-preserve what is left of biodiversity and still allow each Canadian a generous
share of space and natural resources


-maximize survival chances for Canadians as fossil resources are exhausted


-set a good example for the world to follow in hopes that other countries will
reduce their populations to sustainable levels
