A new surge of American nurses, doctors, and other health care workers moving to Canada, and specifically British Columbia, where more than 1,000 U.S.-trained nurses have been approved to work since April.

Dont you dare come here and break the unions

Many parts of Vancouver Island were starting to struggle with healthcare availability so this is a welcome boost.

I can confidently state that the folks looking to GTFO of the US aren't going to be anti-union.

In Ontario, thousands of nurses are scabbing as travel nurses, making Mike Harris' 3rd wife rich (er).

That scheme is totally crazy. Just because the money comes from the hospital budgets, it somehow passes as OK spending while it doesn't if it goes through the public budget for nurse salaries.

You need to read up on what travel nurses actually do.

There was a time it went the other way.

They fill in for actual full time nurses at much higher cost to hospitals and then kick back to Agencies run by the wife of an ex Ontario Premiere in a scheme promoted since 2018. For 2x-3x more money, they scab the unions and don't get pensions or benefits, and they are designed to kill the nurses union powers by providing quick scabs. Overall, they add billions to healthcare costs. $9B in Ontario since the fat corrupt fuck took over.

My wife is an RN.

Mike Harris stealing money is somehow.

Mike Harris is scum of the earth and should have been kicked out of Canada a long time ago.

And then the money wasn't good enough.
