Is it just me, or should the government figure out a way to determine a good population goal that leads to optimum quality of life and aim to keep the population stable at whatever that number is?

Infinite growth won't work.

Our birth rates are below replacement, so this still leaves a lot of room for immigration.

Trudeau is aiming at 100 million people, I don't know where they will live however, in the streets?

Canada does have the second-largest land area of any country on Earth, second only to Russia. I wouldn't think that space would be a terrible constraint for Canada.

Canada has more area in total, but China and the USA have more land area specifically.
