    Canada should be investing in healthcare and science, taking advantage of the current opportunity to poach world-class talent from the USA. And don’t vote Conservative because they’ll do the opposite.

      Nothing changed during Trump’s first presidency disaster and nothing has changed after the pandemic. It won’t happen and this is fucking sad.

      From what little I know, I believe that wait times for Canadian family physicians suck because they move to the US for better pay. So this is rebalancing the scales

      I can’t agree with your comment more. It’s time for Canada to take a stand and invite in all the smartest people from the US to help us bolster our economy and better the country.

          If we get all the smart people, most everything will be in demand.

        Problem with that is we gotta offer a higher salary, which we can’t afford right now. Now with how medicare is being sabotaged by conservative provincial governments.

          Not living under fascism is worth taking a pay cut for some. That said, we shouldn’t underpay medical professionals.

          For many of them, just coming to Canada is worth making a few bucks less.

          I mean, mental health is worth something. I’d be willing to take a pay cut.
