FACTS:

-Canada is importing about 250,000 immigrants annually (70\% of Canada's 1\% annual population growth), which will result in a doubling of our population to 66 million in 70 years

-Canada's best farm land is being paved over to expand subdivisions, roads and businesses to accomodate all these new immigrants

-Canada's natural resources are being plundered at a rate proportional to its population

-As Canada's population grows, its biodiversity declines proportionally

ASSERTION:

We, the undersigned believe that:

Canada needs an official population policy based on an optimum population.
The optimum population should be lower than Canada's present population in order to:

-preserve what is left of biodiversity and still allow each Canadian a generous share of space and natural resources

-maximize survival chances for Canadians as fossil resources are exhausted

-set a good example for the world to follow in hopes that other countries will reduce their populations to sustainable levels
