Land ain't cheap where most of the immigrants end up going. Canada still offers a better quality of life but that will dimminish over time if housing issue is not addressed.
What we need is further investment in tech hub towns and cities, like Halifax did. In places that donโt burn/flood seasonally and have a reliable power supply. If that got spread out, housing wouldnโt be as much of an issue.
The number of places that don't burn or flood is only going to get smaller as climate change ramps up
Okay but the prairies are fucking hugeee
But not invulnerable. Water is a growing problem in the Prairies, and as we're seeing from drought conditions in Southern Alberta, Canada is not immune from the problems we're seeing in the US.
As a Manitoba resident, let me tell you, if we've got one thing going for us, it's that we have more water in our province than most countries.
They're far from invulnerable, the nature of climate change is feedback loops, all it's going to take is an unusually hot, dry summer and some bad luck and you've got crop failure.
