One Child Policy

There's no other country like Canada. We consume more resources per capita than any other nation on earth (yes even the US). Yet we think it's enough to go to international conferences and pledge to do things that we have no intention of doing; greenhouse gas reductions, that would harm the sacred economy stupid and we're not doing that.

Let's get Canadians to take a lead and show the rest of the world where we need to go. Let's force our dear leaders to enact a one child policy for all Canadians. Sure there's a lot of room in Canada but given that we are such gluttons we really should set an example for the rest of the world. If we enacted a global one child policy we would get the earth's human population back down to around one billion by 2100.

Don't hold your breath. A one child policy would be the easy way to sustainability but humans clearly like to do things the hard and painful way.
