Canadians are so screwed politically that England will probably abandon the monarchy and become a republic before Canada. Democracy is sorely lacking in Canada.

While I have no love for the British Monarchy, he is kind of right. I have been saying it on ATS off and on for years. The problem is not over population or a lack of land but the distribution of resources. While we in the Western World enjoy our relative convenience, there are many countries that have to struggle for water...a basic resource, much less oil/petrol.
And the situation is only going to exasperate as our world and regional populations grow. More people equals a need for more resources and while we could theoretically transfer to more conservative usage, there is no realistic way that people will give up what they have.
While I personally think that a human extinction event is a bit more than an exaggeration, there are going to be problems in the future...whether it effects us or the next generation or the next, there will be problems.

Why is it the U.S's problem? Okay the U.S think they are the world Police, but for Christ Sake, they couldn't give a rats ass about the sick or infirm. Just look at their own medical care, do you really think they care about other countries?
