BNN Bloomberg. Nothing may typify the mindset of being Canadian more than the inherent cultural view that our resources are unlimited. We see ourselves possessing enormous swathes of wilderness, endless forests and untamed rivers, boundless unmined wealth, and more water than a nation could ever need. Nor are we entirely alone in this delusion, although Canada may have a special brand. Many still adhere to increasingly problematic Canadian economic strategies of us being “hewers of wood, carriers of water” – although now mostly for export. But if the author of this article is right, Canadians are about to hit the wall – and perhaps in one of the most basic ways possible: in the space available where we want to live. Our towns and cities, despite our default thinking, cannot expand forever. If so, it’s time for us to shed some national myths. [ARTICLE LINK]
