    Coordination is a hassle, but it doesn’t seem impossible.

    The city of Ottawa maintains twenty year plans that include population growth and housing changes. I’m guessing other governments do the same.

    When the feds want to crank immigration, they would need to check the appropriate plans, warn cities and provinces with enough time for them to create infrastructure, etc.

    It would make it harder for the governing party to decide stuff unilaterally, but for a country that prides itself on “Peace, order and good government” it seems reasonable.
