Something is a bit off about this

..."This is a vast country, the infrastructure is expensive and it's a bigger country than the United States is," Pettigrew said. "I am saying that if we were 40 million Canadians, that infrastructure would not be necessarily a lot more expensive, but we would be more
(people) to foot the bill."

It is not the immigration thing. I am all for immigration. I guess it is the directionality of the service. Instead of the government being an agent to serve and represent the people, Minister Pettigrew reveals that the people are the funding agency to allow government to do what it wants to do. This thinking is as backwards as it gets. (h/t NealeNews)
