Borderlines Podcast #162 – Canada’s Aging Population, Demographics and Immigration, with Daniel Hiebert
Daniel Hiebert is an Emeritus Professor of Geography at the University of British Columbia. We discuss his recent paper for the CD Howe Institute titled “Balancing Canada’s Population Growth and Ageing Through Immigration Policy.” Those who support high immigration levels often say that Canada’s ageing demographics makes immigration a necessity. This conversation is a deep dive into this issue. One thing is apparent. There are no easy solutions. It is going to take massive increases and changes to immigration levels and policy that likely are not sustainable or politically feasible.
