You could make like 20 more Calgaries east of the Rockies with prefabs pumped out WW2 style. The geography there ain't that unique.

Except the last cold snap in Alberta almost took out their power grid. Canada needs infrastructure to build things out and we have not investment in what we have let alone what we need, how can we build out even just 1 more Calgary?

I have no power service at all. Generator+solar, not that hard to figure out what to do for weak grids.

But that's not how city economics works. And most immigrants are from India and China. They, quite rightly, prefer to settle in places were their are others who share the same language and culture. That's Toronto and Vancouver. That's also were the jobs are.

Have they considered moving back to India or China if they want to move the goalposts from 'uninhabitable' to cultural immersion of their homeland/ancestoral homeland?
