I wonder if people in China and India ponder about having a 40 million population like Canada. Being higher up in the population rankings may not be what it's cracked up to be. My husband is from the UK but, so far, when asked if he's ready for us to go back to London, he's like "not while we can live in country like this!."
The elites, the American wannabes in Toronto that snub CFL but crave approval from the NBA, or anything south of the border for that matter. British Coulmbian's that ponder strong ties/Independence with Cascadia but mock their neighbouring province next door. The Quebeqois that would rather leave Canada, even the people in Newfoundland that think they could be a sovereign colony of British Commonwealth without hands held out waiting on the assistance of a more stable larger nation. I think Canada even at a larger population won't change these issues.
More people in Canada will mostly just mean over populated largest 6... or 9 largest cities in the country but not offer much to smaller populated areas. There's a huge rural - urban, region to region divide in the country, as can be seen in any federal election this century. Adding more people to the mix isn't really going to change this country's systemic problems. More federal power internationally and to unit provinces but less pitting industry against industry or people against people, Stronger provincial autonomy would help with this.
We have a strong nation but there's too much conflict from within.

We must have different understandings of who constitutes Toronto "elites".
