      The canadian policy of poaching health care workers from other nations is truely malignant.

      It’s no problem to me if people want to move here for any reason. But the general idea that the health care system relies on incoming workers that have been trained and nurtured by other communities is definitionally parasitic. It puts us in a situation where we require other nations to have the kinds of problems that highly incentivize that kind of mass migration. If the Philippines solved all its problems tomorrow, it would totally destabilize the canadian health care system. It’s shitty to put yourself into that kind of relationship.

      Cuba sends doctors everywhere, to help those who need. Canada only sucks in doctors and nurses. A real shame.

        It’s unfortunate because it seems like a self-made problem. There’s report after report of how there aren’t enough residency positions for new doctors. It seems like Canada wants doctors, they just don’t want to train them.

            The government is almost entirely in control of education and pay for doctors. Canada ranks 75 in the world in doctors per capita in-between Qatar and Colombia. The United States ranks 40 and is probably the most capitalistic country in the world.

                Counterpoint - When I was in University more than 80% of the kids in Canadian medical school were on their way to the states the day they started their last year.

                American recruiters would come up and sell their schools to Canadian doctors to be by showing them exactly how much money they would make compared to staying home.

                    assuming your statistic which sounds like it’s based on your personal observations is accurate. all that says is that the US has the same parasitic strategy but is better at enacting it.

                      Maybe the US was better when he was in med school, but the current US government is doing its best to make immigration look very undesirable.

                        I’m hesitant to call it poaching in most situations because we literally have doctors/nurses from many countries trying desperately to become qualified to do their work in Canada and having to jump a million hoops. The majority end up going to the states or the UK to become certified because we’re so shitty about accepting degrees from non-commonwealth countries.

                          So why didn’t you stay and fight to take your country back? How is Americans moving here good for Canadians who America consistently is also trying to fuck over right now?

                          Glad you had what’s going on in America too but this isn’t the amazing thing you think it is
