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.
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.
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 and the threat of going to prison for doing your job is worth a pay cut for some. That said, we shouldn’t underpay medical professionals.
They’re already very well paid. A bit too much in my opinion. Sure they have a lot of responsibilities and there’s a lot of risks. But so do engineers, and they’re not even close to what medical professionals do. (Correct me if I’m wrong though)

Here’s a link with data about medical professional salaries in Canada:

Every province can afford it tho (prior to this tariff fiasco anyway). 2 years ago Trudeau gave each province extra billions to fund healthcare … but he wanted the premiers to sign a contract stating they would spend the money on healthcare.
Every one of the premiers told him to fuck off. So if a province is doing pretty shitty in healthcare right now (looking at you NB) it’s because the premier decided to spend that money on other stuff.
Same situation, here in Europe - the most beneficial situation would be to have a bigger partnership between the EU and Canada! Only then, we could face Trump, Putin, and other dictators.
My mistake, i thought this topic was about how emigrsting to Canada is realistically only possible for people who have skills in high demand and are referred to here as “smart”.
Sorry for offending you, oh wise one. I’m just a mere moron, please forgive me.
It was sarcasm.
When you’re going to be a fucking asshole and immediately start insulting people you don’t get an apology—you get a “go fuck yourself”. Feel free to do so.
Feel free to have the last word before i block you.
Get the government in the business of building homes.
Stop relying on the private sector, this shit needs to be done ASAP. Then reach our to American talent!
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 mean, mental health is worth something. I’d be willing to take a pay cut.

If they stay in the US for the money, they deserve to stay there and see what happens.
For many of them, just coming to Canada is worth making a few bucks less.

Is tech support in demand? 😅
If we get all the smart people, most everything will be in demand.
Must be nice to be so privileged.
Do dumb people deserve fascists?
What the fuck?
Where’s your reading comprehension?

Even with your apology you sound like a dick.

Well, the dumb people voted for the fascists, so kinda?
There are plenty of dumb people who don’t support fascists and plenty of smart people who do. Intelligence is completely unrelated to morality.
Call it ‘Projet Trombone’ .
Trudeau did a great job of doing this the first time around. We got some big names in Chemistry back across the border. Thanks Trump lol
Should’ve done it 8 years back when the orange fuckwad was elected for the first time. Incredible miss by Canada.
We didn’t miss, we got some smart folks during that time.

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