With the new fascist us administration, thereβs whole swaths of scientists from every discipline being fired from national research orgs. Canada has an oppprtunity to be the recipient of a siginificant US brain drain

The whole damn world.
The single best thing about America, its scientific infrastructure, and some jackass who can't admit he made a typo for coffee is taking an ax to it.
I think "coverage" is more likely in the context.
I'd actually forgotten the original context but you're almost certainly right
People are moving to Mexico too, they also have zero to low cost healthcare.
What about prescriptions and dental? If they have those that's a step up from Canada.
I had a friend that was living on a visa down there and paid $5 for their prescription no matter what it was. I don't know if that's universal though.
Also, the more I look at their wikipedia page, it seems like it's a mix of private and public. I'm not sure I understand how it works, but it might be like medicaid in the US.
Interesting. We do have pharmacare here for lower income but I really think it should be universal. Divest ourself from the pharmaceutical system of the states.
And I'll vote NDP as long as we have to make sure no one has to worry about their teeth.
Maybe we get the ones back who were chasing money.
Come to Canada. We need more physicians in general. Welcome!!
We will respect your expertise too!
I was going to say well that is one way to help get more doctors, but then I saw this quote and I just got mind ducked. Why should a child need to make this statement, I cannot believe how lucky we are here in Canada.
βMy daughter actually said to me, βThereβs no camera on our school bus. If someone comes to shoot us, theyβre not going to know who did it.ββ Fleming says she told her school shootings are rare to non-existent in Canada because of gun laws.
Let's roll out the welcome wagon folks!
Bring your oppressed genders, race, LGBTIA+ workers and educators here to Canada!
This isn't surprising to me. I know that this might not be strictly relevant to this community, but I thought I'd share anyway.
I live in a conservative state that has restricted a lot of women's health services(abortions). We had a really great family doctor, she was my wife's OB, she was my kids pediatrician, she even delivered my youngest. She moved to New Zealand over a year ago and we are still upset over it.
We have multiple friends and acquaintances that had to go to a neighboring state for a "procedure" because hospitals in my state refuse to do anything that medically is related to abortions. One friend had a miscarriage and needed a procedure to remove remaining tissue in her uterus and she had to go to another state, even though there wasn't an embryo in there anymore.
It's nuts. I'd love to get out of here, but we have young kids and all of our family is local.
It's so hard to leave. Not only is it expensive, but the family ties tie us up. My mother in law refuses to move away from my sister in law's kids. My wife refuses to move away from her mother, because she is elderly and needs our help. I owe a lifelong debt to my wife so I will not leave her.
My friend is moving to Uruguay. I would love to join him.
World class physicians, scientists and intellectuals? Yes please
We will actually value their skills and knowledge unlike some anti-intellectual red state.
Well the majority of us will. Let's be realistic here. We have our own fair share of dumbasses.
We have our own fair share of dumbasses.
Speaking of which, Pat King was having a sentencing hearing today.
Yes please.
All physicians should be considering this, given the risks to them of providing basic healthcare to women in some US states. This may also become true of providing healthcare to transgender people.
Unfortunately Canada is suffering from Conservative premiers working hard to cut public healthcare and privatize it. Canada needs to vote them out and turn that around, while taking this chance to invest and attract medical professionals from the USA. (And don't elect Conservatives federally either.)
Canada should also take this opportunity to invest in science and attract scientists from the USA. It could be a real boost in these economically challenging times.
hope transferring/acquiring new practicing license won't be much of a hassle
Go ahead and go through the immigration process only for USA.com to invade us in order to protect and liberate oppressed Canadians.
