Your communities plight is not unique. My daughter is Yellowknife NWT and a constant part of the job is to find nurses and medical staff. They pay transportation, room and board, huge wages and benefits and they cannot get anyone to come up there. It is not UNBC that is to blame. Young people just do not want to go to small towns and remote communities.

Doctors internship (residency) happens after formal schooling and lasts 3 to 7 years. There is one standard but, provinces are the health authorities in this country and they have additional requirements and standards. my daughter graduated from U of O and worked in Ontario for a while, moved to BC, and had to write the BC licence and was able to do less than in Ontario and now in the NWT, it is different again. Ontario is paying nurses and PSW education.

Adding in the school year 21/22. Well we are here and it didn't happen. It is still 4 years before they graduate. You cannot just add 1200 students to a program, no matter what government says. There is a lot more than just sitting in classrooms and getting lectures. There is not enough equipment for more students and, there are not enough teachers (also medical staff) for extra students. As for doctors, Like that is going to have an impact ?? "Ontario is adding 160 undergraduate seats and 295 postgraduate positions over the next five years, the largest expansion of undergraduate and postgraduate education in over 10 years." My daughter is high level in a hospital. Always looking for nurses. The primary problem is shift work. No one wants to work the 12 hour shits and especially at night. Like any job, it take a long time to get the seniority to be able to pick your shifts (and time off and vacation times). So, they leave. They go to 9 to 5 clinics or at home services. Plus, who wants to work in small towns and remote communities?

Whoa... Just like last February in Ottawa Deja Vu all over again ?

Very incorrect. Medical schools, or any professions not just medical, are restricted by the number of spaces each year. The schools only have so many openings each year, not by government decree but by physical space. In Ontario, it seems to be money. The gripe is Bill 124 ,Protecting a Sustainable Public Sector for Future Generations Act, 2019, which limited pay raises to 1% for each of the following 3 years. The nurses want it repealed to bring back nurses.

And it is another wild pitch into the stands. 0 for 3 now. ""Where and when did I "declare" anyone "far right"? " " Still deflecting. Sad you don't have more LOL

"Strong men don't care what the rabble think of them." So, strong men don't think much of themselves?? Strong me are not egotists? LOL

Ha, cannot provide answers so you deflect. Typical

Neither do narcissists.

Not sure what that blather is all about. I asked "Where and when did I "declare" anyone "far right"? "

Sharkman farts a lot?? Thanks for the warning bandana

Just because some people have cable tv does not make them international figures. Still, who is Musk?? Are you talking about the tesla guy?? I think you are far exaggerating their influence Every country in the world has some uniqueness. The internal governance of those countries is what they chose it to be, just like Canadians did.

Where and when did I "declare" anyone "far right"? What is a sharkman?? As if I care

WTF??? What planet are you on today?? LOL

A doctor of philosophy?? Woop dee doo. And a student at that. What does that get you besides a counter job at McDonalds LOL

Why insult. I am quoting a news article??

The far right do not like Trudeau, that is for sure. "the attacks launched on him by two far-right members of the European Parliament (MEPs, of which the body has 705 representatives in total) that somehow managed to capture the headlines and steal the show. " https://www.nationalobserver.com/2022/03/29/opinion/europe-worst-people-hate-justin-trudeau-why-story

I am quite sure he knows what he did,. Thing is most Canadians think he did OK. "Two days before the Emergencies Act was invoked last February to quell anti-government convoy protests, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau warned ministers that international partners were concerned Canada wasn’t able to control the situation." https://ottawa.citynews.ca/local-news/international-partners-had-concern-about-canadas-ability-to-handle-convoy-protests-5693349?utm_source=SND&utm_medium=Facebook&utm_campaign=AutoPilot

In the US, If he has influence over you here in Canada that is really a sad comment of certain Canadians. Of course Trump would pay attention to American comedians, they are speaking to the American public. I still don't know who Musk is.

Who is Bill Mahar? An American tv comedian? Making comments for laughs? Who is Musk? What American pundits think of Canadian politics (or politics anywhere else in the world) is not only immaterial, it has no validity and is worthless. Quoting them is, once again. reaching far out. Point here is that so many here are living and believing innuendo, rumours, hearsay, feelings, emotion and when pressed for actual facts, chapter and verse, all the responses come back crickets. I think Trudeau is an ass. I think he believes he has power when in fact it is the NDP that give it to him (this time). First tome the conservatives gave it to him, second time the conservative failures gave him the PMship too and same with this time but, NDP hold the cards. I think conservatives are losers because they keep electing fools and idiots as leaders. Regardless what many may think, personality plays a big part in being a leader and hate to say this but, Trudeau and his personality win over the past 3 conservative leaders.

I do not defend. I dispel the falsehoods, innuendo and partisanship perpetuated by some folks here. The mayor attempted to de-escalate but, as the article I linked and as I witnessed, that did not happen, regardless of the letter from Lich. A person posted letters and I dispelled the assumptions they made as I was here, in Ottawa, when this all occurred.. Our government is ridiculous, according to you and a few other dissidents here on this forum but, believe it or not, you are not the majority in Canada. Every government in every country in the world has dissenters and people that disagree with the ruling party. That is democracy. The way to change it is to vote them out by the majority of the population. 3 times Trudeau has won, like it or not. (personally I believe he won because of the failure of Scheer and O'Foole and who knows who is next) Comparing any government to Hitler is a last resort of losers. Cannot provide evidence of actual law breaking and wrong doing so therefor resorting calling out for Hitler (as oppose to Pol Pot, Idi Amin, Saddam Hussein, Qaddafi r even Mussolini). I also linked an article written today. Like it or not, they do not see it your (and a few others here) way.

Sounds like you are pushing Trudeau? LOL

Yeah but....they did not comply with the mayors requests and hence, faced the wrath of authority. While Lich's response was also a letter of intent, it was as much political pandering as the Mayors letter. In the end, nothing happened from the protesters side. Very few, if any, vehicles moved, certainly not to the limits the Mayor asked for. Only when the EMA was enacted and police presence increased and the protesters understood they were serious and what was going to happen did they move, and many at that time did. In Ottawa, both tv networks were walking around filming live as the events unfolded. The abuse that the reporters and cameramen were taking was an embarrassment for the protesters. Live filming as opposed to random facebook snippets. But hey, this is all old stale news and mostly forgotten except for the few that cannot get past their excitement of the 15 minutes of fame (and their groupies). "On the night before Justin Trudeau took the historic step of invoking the Emergencies Act during last February's Freedom Convoy occupation of Ottawa, the prime minister's national security and intelligence adviser told cabinet there was "potential for a breakthrough," court documents reveal." "...referring to negotiations led "principally" by the City of Ottawa that were "ultimately unsuccessful" after being "disavowed" by many associated with the convoy." https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/canada/cabinet-told-of-possible-breakthrough-with-protesters-night-before-emergencies-act-was-invoked/ar-AA10zHwE?ocid=EMMX&cvid=c14be5b3a85c4bd198fa1ea8c400faa9 Gotta bring this up again because you are being forgotten? LOL

Much more travel and distances and diverse communities and regions in Canada for sure. "Rubberstamping" ,as you call it, is the same as in any other party orientated democratic country in the world. Yours is a red herring remark. Feeble attempt at, well,..... not even sure what you are trying to convey.

Easy to find. https://lop.parl.ca/sites/ParlInfo/default/en_CA/People/Salaries Easy to criticize until you know what the job entails and what have to do on the job.
