Doctors want the option to work across provincial borders
  • All education programs are managed the same way in Canada.

    The reason this was proposed is that we have been losing a good portion of our doctors to the US.

    The thing is, if you come from another country and want to study at McGill University to become a doctor, you will pay the full amount of your studies and can go back to work wherever you want.

    Canadians have decided as a society that we want to lessen the burden of our citizens in regards to education in order to remove barriers for highly skilled careers (or any careers) but this is paid by our taxes. Training doctors just so they can fuck off to the US and never pay a cent of taxes here is a bad investment and is creating undue pressure in our medical system.

    So yeah, I think it's fair to ask that if you use our low cost education system, you should be accountable to give back to the community before you decide to go exploit the broken system down south for personal gain.

  • I mean free is a big word. It's affordable compared to elsewhere and you can get loans and whatnot but it's still about 5k+ per year depending on which university you go to and if you do it in your home province or not.

    The data from this page is a bit old but it provides a good idea.

    It's basically free if you compare it to the US though, that's for sure...

  • Thoughts on Ladytron?
  • Oh 100% I just discovered them from goth club djs :) They were very popular beginning of the century around here but I do think they're one of the bands that go beyond that.

    I was unaware thst they were still active though so thanks for your post because I got some listening to do!
