Yea, sure, pave over the places where so many of us go to get away. Pave over our hunting and camping spots. Sounds like progress to me.

Settlements are established where there exists the means (economy or economic potential) to sustain them, and Canadians are a soft ppl who are, more or less, totally reliant on modern supply chains and logistics. We can’t just put up a bunch of houses in the middle of nowhere, inevitably for those on lower incomes, and then expect them to waste half their income on fuel, commuting 2-4 hours each day. Maybe we can solve a tiny fraction of the problem w far-flung boutique communities for the well-to-do remote ‘workers’ w StarLink and such, but we wouldn’t even feel the difference.

@ReXox35 Then do a little experiment for me and go establish a town in the middle of nowhere. Let me know how easy it is to just centrally plan some thriving towns and villages everywhere.

@TheRealCartman1 So many ppl repeat the ‘buts lots of land’ argument that I worry we could have some inevitably botched massive federal housing scheme that tries to do something just like this.
