Yay! But also consider coming to the EU; we are also in need of good doctors!

Sorry if this is off-topic, but I can't be the only one who read the title as "pegging canada," right?
It's been so ass these last few years to get proper care. Glad to hear it
Under his eye(liner)
Welcome. Shouldn’t be hard to get in if you have credentials.
I've got my ticket in, just waiting for bureaucracy at this point :)
He writes under a pseudonym due to fear of further retribution from members of U.S. medical leadership and U.S. government officials.
What a sad state
what a sad country!

Cmon home! We need ya!
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.
Best we csn do is piss away money on mega corpos thst won't do jackshit.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
Is tech support 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.
If they stay in the US for the money, they deserve to stay there and see what happens.
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.

I mean, mental health is worth something. I’d be willing to take a pay cut.
For many of them, just coming to Canada is worth making a few bucks less.
