Take a step back and examine your beliefs. Capitalism requires growth. If Canada is not growing, it's dying. One of my houses is in a small town in the middle of Italy. You can get houses nearby for free. Is THAT a good future for Canada? Because that's what flat or declining poplulation growth looks like under capitalism.
Which countries in the world hold the most power? Can you chart "power on the world stage" and "population' and see if there are any correlations?
If you are pro-capitalism, you need population growth. If you are looking to maintain the population at some set number, you need a robust social safety net.
