No I 100% agree, but that is kind of my point. Isn't it then incumbent on national strategy at federal and provincial government level to try and figure out how to spread out people to other areas to better manage population growth and infrastructure?

Further, aren't you thinking about what places are like now and not what I'm saying- the future or what they could be? My point is you build out these other centres and make them larger, nicer, more things to do, nicer places to live, better infrastructure, etc. Then people will move with their feet.
