The only way I see out of this is opening up Canada to massive levels of private investments that drive GDP growth. We are capable of doing this with our natural resources & telecom industries, but for some reason we are afraid.
Even health care has to go to the private / public European model in order to be affordable.

That’s pie in the sky, the massive levels of infrastructure required to service the influx of people coming with the gdp growth leave us in more or less the same position. Increasing gdp per capita when the money is left in the hands of individuals and corporations is not going to fix the infrastructure deficit.
