    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.

          For many of them, just coming to Canada is worth making a few bucks less.

          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.

          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.

        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

      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!
