It's Friday, March 24th, 2023 from Peachfish Productions.

It's the gist I'm Mike Pesca.

And people ask me, Mike, what makes you so optimistic?

And I say, it just brain chemistry.

Jerry being out, unif the chemistry is adaptive or maladaptive.

But I do think this country is on the right track.

And I do think this country is doing more good than harm in the world.

And I also think that macro trends about this country are ones of growth, prosperity,

and the ability to wrestle with challenges.

Now one thing I should make clear about my comments about this country is that I'm not

speaking of this country, the USA.

No, my comments are about this country.

Now the population of this country grew by more than one million last year, a boom,

the likes of which Canada has never seen before.

According to news statistics out today, the historic growth is largely attributed to immigration.

That's the CBC, the national broadcaster broadcasting more good news about the nation of Canada,

where the population grew from 38.5 million to a baguade to do the math, even if statistics

Canada didn't provide it, 39.5 million.

That's a 2.7 rate of growth, the greatest since 1957, boom times in Canada.

In the US, these times, the population is pretty stagnant and it's definitely immigration

averse.

And Canada is not only doing the moral thing, but the smart thing.
