How infrastructure helped build a city? Let us start with the known facts everyone can understand. A once unknown small island had a pulp mill that needs 5,000 workers. The workers brought their family with them and moved to the small island, including the owner and family of the pulp mill moved in the island for good to see the operation, the input and output of the pulp products. Multiply the total population of workers, the owner and his family = 25,050. With that total population of inhabitants the small community has to build schools for the children of the workers, church for religious vocations and services, hospital and medical clinic, police station to protect and serve the population of people. There will be restaurants and pubs. They will bring in customers for sure. Fire station is built to help prevent fire because the pulp mill is located close to the forest. The hospital and medical clinic will need doctors and nurses. They will need supermarket, shopping mall, grocery stores, cinema or movie houses. Because the population increases there's a need for government building for its services to the community for its easy access. The population grows eventually, the pulp mill is the life-giving blood source of income for the whole population. Increase in wealth and growth. Tourism services were added. They allowed fishing industry, forest industry have the sawmills and other sector that caters to the demand within the town. The town grows and was developed to a larger city and housing becomes scarce, so community upon community is built, houses, apartments, townhouses, villages and subdivisions enlarged its scope. Then all of a sudden there's a complete stop to all this enermous modern facility build up of continuous over populating the city. The main source of income for the city closed down. This time it's not addition but subtraction the only solution to the problem. Over population is such a problem! How that happened that a city that is modernized in its scope and with all the professionals working in such a modern world as in globally competitive place like this have to put to a stop? Simple! Not all that glitters is gold. Not all modernization or what a civilized city has to offer meant something else as in bringing in profit. Not all that you can see as utopia can bring in the money and financial stability. When all what was used to provide all those modern housing, condos, and lavish style modern comfort, skyscrapers and all those what you can see as the awesome amazing buildings are the result of your genius. You are to pay them all. Each one of you will be paying them through taxes and the many debts that your leader owed from the international banks. The money you owed from the government to upgrade your skills and money loaned to you by banks will soon haunt you. Taht's why there is that news story about EI recipients are being hunt door to door. Everyone of them is being investigated. With the news of thousands of students who were granted student loans by government are being chased. Oh my! Read the news, listen to the news and so...that's why your leader is fed up. If you cannot pay the debts of Canada then he'll be in trouble. It's the same kind of  financial trouble that those leaders from other countries in the world have problem with. Those leaders who were out of politics and still being chased wherever they go even up to the hospital. Strange but true news. Now what is the solution? Trade?
