I think it’s easy to get sentimental about the idea of welcoming “lost Canadians” back to the country, but I suspect very strongly - I don’t know but I suspect _very_ strongly, that one quality these Lost Canadians will overwhelmingly share is that they’re white.
Sentimentality is nice and all, but maybe what we should really be doing here is just regular boring old “more immigration.”

I don’t think there’s a single country in the world worth moving to - reasonably safe, reasonably prosperous, reasonably geopolitically stable - that has a “population crisis”. They have a policy problem rooted in racism. So solve that problem instead. If Canada wanted to make a serious investment in long term prosperity and innovation, the place I’d start tomorrow is “every foreign student who graduates from any Canadian post-secondary institution gets citizenship papers with their diploma”.
