Canada vs. Australia

 Canada_Day is always on July 1st.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canada#Demographics , https://worldpopulationreview.com/countries/canada-population

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australia#Demographics , https://worldpopulationreview.com/countries/australia-population

While Canada might have mild to nice weather for almost half the year, for Australia it's almost for the whole year. At least by Canadian standards.

If enduring cold weather for half of the year is going to be a problem, then Australia is a much better choice than Canada. Australia is relatively close to several places in the Eastern_Hemisphere.

However, living in Canada means the USA is conveniently right next door, along with the Americas in general. Europe is also much closer to Canada than Asia is.

World population reaches 8 billion

https://www.sciencenews.org/article/world-population-8-billion-humans-earth

The ongoing question is, how many more people can the world accommodate? Some countries want to absorb very little of the world's population. In some cases that's because they already have a significant growing population. Immigration_to_Japan has always been heavily controlled, as is the case with immigration_to_Switzerland as well. Both countries have great population density, but also have their low populated mountainous and rural areas. Canada could have the best of both worlds. Great urban density, while retaining plenty of wilderness, parks and farmland.

The No Fun City

 https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/bc-place-contact-festival-noise After all this time, many people just can't accept or allow Vancouver to become like a proper big city.

As a city and greater urban region grows and densifies and become more diverse, there should be more things to see and do. However, that's not always the case with Vancouver, BC. Even if the stunted city had a lot less rain, it still takes a watered down approach towards various things.

Since the late 1800s and early 1900s, Vancouver was a perpetual provincial backwater. Then during the post WW2 era, Vancouver was kept in a slow growth mode, especially when compared to Toronto, Montreal and Seattle. By the 1960s & 70s, those & several other cities really started to grow outward & upward, but not provincial backwater Vancouver. 

By the 1980s and 90s, it was becoming quite apparent as to how firmly entrenched the, HOLD VANCOUVER BACK AGENDA, really was. 

https://www.udiscovermusic.com/stories/top-10-seattle-grunge-bands Something really took off in Seattle, which can be just as rainy as Vancouver. However, Seattle never took the water things down approach like Vancouver did. https://dailyhive.com/seattle/grunge-visit

Even by the 2020s, Vancouver still isn't allowed to become a big business and infrastructure center like Calgary and Seattle are. Buildings are kept short, most roads & bridges are kept narrow & the trains are kept short when compared to what Montreal & Toronto, Boston, NYC & Chicago, SF & LA have.     

http://www.nofuncity.org , http://www.nofuncity.org/about.php 

"What she did see, however, was a place that often lives up to its unofficial title of No Fun City."

“My parents own two bars in Alberta,” Kroll says. “It was really interesting for me to see how much harder it was [to start a bar] here than in Alberta.”

"And a segment on the Downtown Eastside makes a great case for why something in Vancouver needs to give: there’s something seriously wrong when the city will allow open-air crack deals at Hastings and Main but won’t grant a venue like the Rickshaw a permanent liquor licence." https://www.straight.com/article-321074/vancouver/running-venues-challenge-no-fun-city  by Mike Usinger on May 5th, 2010

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tallest_buildings_in_Melbourne#Skyscrapers_at_least_200_metres_in_height In comparison, Vancouver, Canada has only allowed one residential tower to reach 200m. No office-tower in Vancouver has ever been permitted to have a 40th floor.

There was a time when Montreal had taller buildings than Melbourne, but that was a long time ago. That's because Melbourne isn't vertically limited like Montreal is. 1000_de_La_Gauchetiere is the only office tower in Montreal that has been permitted to have more than 50 floors. Given the strict height restrictions, Montreal might not permit any building to rival the Rialto_Towers for a while yet.

It seems that Australia isn't waiting for Canada to catch up, by the time that Australia has its 3rd building consisting of at least 100 floors, Canada will still have no 100 story buildings.

The CN_Tower like the Sydney_Tower and the Sky_Tower_(Auckland), aren't office or residential towers. 

The Harbour_Centre (stump) in Vancouver is a joke. The office portion of the building wasn't even allowed to have a 30th floor. Even the top of the antenna had to be less than a 3rd of the height of the CN Tower, because of the strict height limitations in Vancouver.   

The John_Hancock_Center in late 1960s Chicago, was the first office and residential tower to have a 100 floors, outside of NYC. Australia just might eventually have a couple of buildings taller than the John_Hancock_Center.

The Colonial Mentality

 https://dailyhive.com/canada/tiktoker-racist-rant-on-video

Unfortunately, The White Colonial Mentality is still firmly perpetuated by some.

Canada is the 2nd largest country in area. Yet, Canada has less than half of 1% percent of the worlds population. Of course most of the worlds population is non-white. Is that why so many people aren't allowed to live in Canada?
