    I can’t agree with your comment more. It’s time for Canada to take a stand and invite in all the smartest people from the US to help us bolster our economy and better the country.

      Same situation, here in Europe - the most beneficial situation would be to have a bigger partnership between the EU and Canada! Only then, we could face Trump, Putin, and other dictators.

      Trudeau did a great job of doing this the first time around. We got some big names in Chemistry back across the border. Thanks Trump lol

      Problem with that is we gotta offer a higher salary, which we can’t afford right now. Now with how medicare is being sabotaged by conservative provincial governments.

        Every province can afford it tho (prior to this tariff fiasco anyway). 2 years ago Trudeau gave each province extra billions to fund healthcare … but he wanted the premiers to sign a contract stating they would spend the money on healthcare.

        Every one of the premiers told him to fuck off. So if a province is doing pretty shitty in healthcare right now (looking at you NB) it’s because the premier decided to spend that money on other stuff.

        Not living under fascism and the threat of going to prison for doing your job is worth a pay cut for some. That said, we shouldn’t underpay medical professionals.

        For many of them, just coming to Canada is worth making a few bucks less.

          Must be nice to be so privileged.
          Do dumb people deserve fascists?

              There are plenty of dumb people who don’t support fascists and plenty of smart people who do. Intelligence is completely unrelated to morality.

              My mistake, i thought this topic was about how emigrsting to Canada is realistically only possible for people who have skills in high demand and are referred to here as “smart”.

              Sorry for offending you, oh wise one. I’m just a mere moron, please forgive me.

                  It was sarcasm.
                  When you’re going to be a fucking asshole and immediately start insulting people you don’t get an apology—you get a “go fuck yourself”. Feel free to do so.

                  Feel free to have the last word before i block you.
