Counter point: a high respected specialist in my medium size city is packing up shop and leaving for the US. Money is still going to talk the loudest.

More American MD’s come to Canada than the other way around. Money is pretty similar for most areas of medicine and the ethics way better.

Good to hear.

This article isn't about Trump and all the terrible things that are happening. It's about an amoral profit-driven corruption of the medical system in the US. That was separate from the political nightmare. It's not fixable.

I knew of the rainbow railroad, now we got the medical railroad. 🚅🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🤕🫂🛤️

Well, they’d sure better think twice about coming to Alberta. 🤦‍♀️

Not that we don’t need them but the UCP government demonstrably hates doctors.

We have a spot for doctors looking to become members of a society who understand religious and political opinions are second to the medical wellbeing of the patient.

And we are not crazy about guns too…

You hope the feds and the provinces are insightful enough to realize this is a one-time opportunity to make a huge advance in both health care and medical research.

Canada needs to see the advantage of picking up great medical people and various researchers that the US are sidelining for "reasons."

If they didn't choose this profession just for money, they should be welcome to this great country 🇨🇦🇨🇦

I really hope we are able to recruit these health care providers to communities across Canada.
