The destruction of American scientific and medical research strikes me as a big opportunity for Canada

Canada could become a scientific superpower almost overnight by snatching all the laid off American academics decimated by research cuts and all the high level feds.

*whispers*
You could also find plenty of sympathetic Americans willing to consider joining the Canadian military.

Seriously. I hope Canada states a foreign legion for my sake

In all seriousness please do drain our brains. Make it all hurt. Turn up the stove.

Anecdotally the job openings for my type of work spiked suddenly in Northern Europe in, oh, late January.

Fun fact: CNODES runs our tools and uses our data model for stuff so I could seamlessly and happily come work for you. In fact I'm on one of the publications listed under current publications... https://www.cnodes.ca/

I've never been, but would love to see it!

I’m already an American in Ottawa. Please hire me so I can stay. I have 2 engineering degrees

Absolutely, there's tremendous poaching opportunity if we can shovel some funding to universities to pick up researchers.

Canada’s not huge on international development but if my partner can get a job doing that, we’d immigrate immediate. I’ll work in a grocery store idgaf lol

We should also be hustling for American students. “Stash your kid in Canada for, say, four years” as a hedge against Gilead.

Yes

We should really be removing all barriers to American medical workers coming here. A licensed American doctor should receive license to practice here upon entry. (My understanding from a doctor family member is that coming to Canada is currently a pain)

Incentives for Americans to migrate would be huge, yeah.
