I've already mentioned water stresses, which are not bull#### at all, go do some reading on that. Scientists have been sounding alarm bells on that for years.
Then you have increased resource demand, much more land for solar and wind, let alone more gas for electricity, more waste generation and on and on.
All you have to do is travel this province with an eye to our affect on the environment and you aren't going to notice many places undisturbed.

Fuzz, there is an insane amount of land in Canada. We can even expand in many areas without any impacts to current National Parks or mountain territory. The truth is that many people simply don’t
want to go live in colder areas or other less beautiful areas, to which there are plenty but no infrastructure properly built out. There’s nothing stopping Canada from trying to align its immigration policies with the likes of exploring the idea of developing less developed regions (to which there are literally thousands upon thousands of square kilometres).
