"Leave your 500k mansion for a 2 million dollar crack shack in one of our fine cities; though you will need to pay higher taxes you'll luckily be in a lower tax bracket since you'll be making half as much!"
I still remember when Vancouver was trying to entice tech companies to move there by advertising Vancouvers low salaries.
'Murican surgical tech here - don't forget about the rest of the crew! We want out of the meth house, too!
Probably because they won't risk getting arrested for providing any care to women who are having problems with their pregnancy? Or for providing healthcare to anyone intersex or trans? I dunno I didn't read the article, but those would be my biggest concerns as an American doctor.
Abortion care is not codified in Canadian law, but our Supreme Court "left it to Parliament to come up with a new abortion law that would balance the rights of women with the state’s interest in the protection of the fetus, without offending (Canada's Charter of Rights and Freedoms)". Source
Since then, because of that decision, no Canadian government has touched abortion and provincial health care covers the cost. But we do have issues with some provinces that have played hardball with abortion clinics (who have no recourse because there is no law on the books).
I have hopes that IF Carney gets a majority government, and IF he's willing to listen, we can pressure the Liberal party to codifiy abortion in Canadian law.
The only chance that we reach U.S. levels of oppression on medical doctors for abortion and gender/sex health is if we let conservatives win. And even that is very unlikely.

From what I've read, his position is very much on the side of "woman's right to choose".
However, I suspect he has a lot of more urgent priorities in the short term than touching the abortion issue.
Reimer said she was “surprised and disappointed” to see that health care was not included on the agenda for this week’s federal leaders’ debates, despite polling that suggests it is a top concern for voters.
Heathcare is under provincial control, so if the provincial leaders would get their heads out of their asses they could band together and ask the feds for some help advertising their vacancies.
As far as extra dollars for healthcare every province has (and will be) receiving extra billions from contracts they negotiated with Trudeau.
If they spent that money on other things - which they made sure was a prerequisite to signing the deal - it's on them.
THANK YOU. Nothing stood out more to me over the last 5+ years then people who are completely ignorant of how our government is structured and who manages what and who is responsible for what.
And surprise, nobody fucking understood that healthcare, education, infrastructure, and housing (until the last two years) are ALL provincial responsibilities. And yet people refuse to vote in provincial elections or pay attention to them, and keep voting in conservatives who refuse to expand public healthcare, cut education, and spend frivolous amounts of money on Infrastructure thats for the fossil fuel industry. 🙄
No billing to private insurance.
That alone would make me move. Even for half the salary I was making in the US.
