A memo you can forward: why fertility matters, how this country compares with its neighbors, and how many working-age people versus retirees the pyramid already implies. Tick sections, park each chart next to the paragraph it belongs with, then generate — or start from blank headings and write it yourself. After that, every heading and paragraph is editable, and Expand / Tighten / Ask AI can rewrite one section at a time.
Canada’s below-replacement fertility sits under a high-immigration population model; Statistics Canada origin splits are the composition series.
AI prose uses the same OpenAI key as Cohort — add billing credits at platform.openai.com if generate or Expand fails. Limited to a few memos per hour. You can always type over the text.
This briefing will cover
National TFR is well below 2.1; population growth is dominated by permanent and temporary immigration.
StatCan publishes immigrant / non-immigrant fertility where available — use that, not a homemade religion table.
Provincial age structures diverge (Atlantic aging vs. high-inflow metros).
Working-age counts are modeled from today’s pyramid. 2040 taxpayers are mostly already born; TFR shows up around 2060.
