As someone from the US, if researchers, scientists etc. want to leave, I’d much rather they go to countries who will actually value the work they do so this ain’t all bad
Anecdotally almost all the people who went to the states after graduating my compsci degree (about 40% of my cohort) have come back now. One guy in my cohort died in a firefight with ICE, it just isn't safe.

Yeah I need to hear this whole story.
This is a fantastic opportunity for Canada
And the rest of the world, less investment board driven research and more open results.
The transition is taking a lot longer than I predicted in 2000, but I'm still convinced the future of American workers will be hand-painting plastic happy meal toys for fast-food restaurants in China.
Its funny that the "I'll move the canada" thing is actually becoming real.
I've known of (met briefly) 2 families that moved to Canada during the first term. Still there and happy from what I've heard.
Hey all y'all refugee professors. Cost of living is still very good in Winnipeg, and the winters are very survivable. And if anything funky happens with the Panama Canal, Winnipeg will be booming again.
I won a full paid interchange scholarship to the University of Winnipeg, to start classes on the second half of 2020. It was sadly "postponed" for the pandemic, and I could choose to wait until everything came back to normal but had to pause my studies at home, or give it up and continue with my life. I have a little vacuum on my heart, for the time I couldn't live there and every time someone talks about Winnipeg I felt sad 😞
My wife met me because she went to the University of Winnipeg as an exchange student. So yeah, you never know where life will lead you, but she said it felt like home right away in Winnipeg.
And yeah, sorry that you feel sad about what could have been.
the winters are very survivable
sounds very attractive lol selling 1/4 of the year as "survivable"
Haha, you have to manage expectations. And it's more like half the year. Winter lasts from November to April.
Interrogator: "what did you do the night between 15 november and 16 of March?"
Winnipeg has such a cool mix of architecture. It feels like an unplanned mess of different eras when you're going through the financial district.
If I lived in a high cost of living place I'd probably move to Winnipeg.
if anything funky happens with the Panama Canal, Winnipeg will be booming again.
Why? Chicago is the rail hub.
Chicago first, then Winnipeg to get to Churchill for northern shipping. Winnipeg used to be quite an important city until the Panama Canal opened up.
Smart people are leaving the Untied States.....I wonder why
Science is bad anyways, right?

Project Paperclip in reverse.
Operation Treetap
Operation Mapleclip
Operation stapler
Our gain, their loss.
Welcome to brain drain gang, America.
This is the way.
after a 5 hour day just to see a doctor for 15 minutes I think we could take their doctors too, if only there was a reasonable way for them to be legally entitled to work
It looks like this is already in the plans: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/doctors-recruitment-1.7480911
Well they're not legally entitled to work but US residency-trained doctor have those qualifications accepted in Canada and New Zealand. At least for now.
10 years too late tbh.
We should call it " Project Tropical Nectar"
