And immigration probably won't help much either....
Rural Canada’s Population To Continue Decline Without Immigration Policy Shift
Canada’s rural communities will continue to face a population decline unless various levels of government make policy changes to direct immigrants to settle in small towns, villages, and hamlets instead of major urban centres, said a researcher at Western University.
Rural Canada has been witnessing a declining population trend for more than 55 years now, at a slow but steady rate.
For example, in Ontario in 1966, 2.6 million people inhabited rural communities, making up 37 per cent of the province’s total 7 million people.
In 2021, the rural population remained at 2.5 million people, while the total provincial population increased to 14.2 million people.

Why not reengineer the system to where we reward motherhood, large families and rearing children; thus encouraging internal growth rather than having to import it from the outside ?
Not forcing, encouraging. Defiantly not intended to go all dark and Handmaids Tale(ish).
