Then there is the short seasons in some areas, and unbearable winter in some regions, and no roads. Most of Canada population is with 350 miles of the US border. If one goes north of that, you really need to want to be there, 9 months of the year. And then there is the bugs. They are worse that any third world country I have ever been in.<br />Most of our fresh produce comes from Mexico now. US is to expensive. We can produce and live quite well on Canadian vegetables that keep well, and we grow fine beef and pork. <br />Our timber industry needs robot programers, and button loader operators to run machines from keyboard like panels. The wood is not touched by humans anymore. We have surplus of unskilled and poor mes, unmotivated human shapes we support on the dole. To be counted as unemployed here you need to be looking for work and on EI or working. Anyone else is just not counted. Human detritus. Oh well, shit happens.<br />By the way, NAFTA is a dirty word here, and in some places so are American citizens. I note that there are areas that cars with US license plates are frequently vandalized. There are big parts of this country that I will not even go, but then I want to live.FredThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08382242668090490676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8625976945262894056.post-43968001149671566962015-06-23T07:38:34.354-07:002015-06-23T07:38:34.354-07:00There is a third choice that hasn't been explo...There is a third choice that hasn't been explored. Forced relocation of the masses. It has happened in the past. Governments force people off their lands to suit their purposes all the time. As you pointed out...the population of California is slightly greater than all of Canada. Canada is rich in natural resources and lacking in humans. I read that the population density of Canada is 3.4 per square km. The U.S. is 33 per square km and California has a population density of 95 per square km. <br /><br />It could be a jobs creation exchange program. California could send Canada our poor, uneducated, with no employable job skills and English as their second language...and Canada could provide job training in the timber industry. Also in exchange, through the NAFTA, California could ship more fresh produce to Canada.

In California there is still a choice, while in much of the world, there is little choice. <br /><br />Note that the population of California is slightly greater population than all of Canada, but we here only get slightly over 100 frost free days for growing. Oh well.

In 2014 that number was 38.8 million. An increase of over 15.5 million. But because of environmental laws...no new dams or reservoirs have been built in 40 years. The California drought is in part caused by politically correctness.<br /><br />If open water storage had been allowed to keep pace with the population growth, maybe the drought would not be as severe. On the other hand, limiting every couple to one child per couple may have also solved the water shortage problem.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17690442668699466427noreply@blogger.com
