The Canadian population has basically stabilized and growth comes from net positive rather than balanced immigration.  Fine during the colonial period but in our current timeline, reckless non-renewable resource depletion, inflating house prices, building on prime farmland, increasing ghg emissions, increasing inequality and driving down wages are seen as negatives.

Of course, while the vast majority of us are hurt by these trends, some people make money from them.  Perhaps you are one of those.
