Liberal (Minority/Majority) Government 2025 - ???

The Premier and the Mayor want to double the size of the province in 20 years. With 500K more in Halifax, making it a million person city.

Depends on economic and political factors and the actual delivery of these defence announcements but it might be possible...

Seriously?!
That’s 25,000/yr, that’s like 8-11,000 new homes in the greater HRM region per year. Can you build out the infrastructure to handle that every year?
Adding 100-150k over 20yrs would be quite the achievement.

Its honestly a good thing. We need to spread the population around Canada more. No reason Halifax shouldnt be Winnipeg size in 30ish years. A million seems a stretch though.

That’s 3.5% annual growth. Is that unreasonable?

Good luck with that

Yes and? Whats your point? IRCC has plenty of incentives to get people to move places. Thats how they get immigrants all the way to Yellowknife. If there's a will and jobs, there's a way.
