Why Canadian-trained doctors should be allowed to practise anywhere in Canada without additional licensing

Jump

  • He won't get hired if he isn't able to speak the language (whatever that might be for the region/clinic/hospital), it doesn't need to be part of licensing.

    Jump

  • Absolute nonsense - an English speaking doctor would be very successful in many Quebec communities, likewise a French speaking doctor would have a lot of success in many communities outside of Quebec. There's also just as many non-English/French communities where this would be a "problem". Regulating what language a doctor "must" speak would be just another wasteful bureaucratic hoop.

    • How does Danielle Smith's tariff strategy measure up to that of other premiers?

    Jump

  • She might get some exceptions or reductions because of her bootlicking, but keeping them is going to mean keeping up with Trump's changing demands. It's a short-sighted way that will result in a complete loss of our sovereignty - though she's probably fine with that 🙄

    • Canadian Liberals vote to replace Trudeau as PM

    Jump

  • Honestly just another reason that ranked choice isn't the best version of electoral reform :P

    • Liberals already fundraising with Carney

    Jump

  • Disagree on your assessment of why PR failed, but I agree with it being the bottom of my priorities right now. Back in 2013 I voted Liberal for the first time (normally an NDP voter) purely for electoral reform - it's incredibly important for the long term health of our democracy. However, we're in an economic crisis, and I really think we need to survive the next few years before we can worry about long term health, and I think Carney is the right guy for that. I will be happy to see him replaced with someone more progressive down the road.

    • A Carney in charge of the circus

    Jump

  • She specifically writes that it's no different between the Liberals and Conservatives, and goes further to say Carney would pave the road for someone worse than PP. That's just straight up delusional.

    • Canadian Liberals vote to replace Trudeau as PM

    Jump

  • Yeah, the instructions said you could rank as many or as few as you like. I'm not sure what the effect is of not ranking someone vs ranking them 4th, aside from their internal statistics

    • Canadian Liberals vote to replace Trudeau as PM

    Jump

  • This is how I feel (and I don't really like Singh anyway). Gould is probably my favourite candidate of the Liberals, but I think Carney is what we need to get us through tough times, so I ranked Carney first.

    1. Carney
    2. Gould
    3. Baylis

    Didn't rank Freeland because I really dislike her

    • If Trumps Tariffs are going ahead even after we allocated billions into the border along with that fentanyl czar, why bother even keeping those now?

    Jump

  • And you think that allocation was unrelated to Trump?

    • U.S. going ahead with tariffs on Canada and other countries - March 4th

    Jump

  • Rollback all concessions we made.

    • 23/2/2025 Federals Polls

    Jump

  • You can check the source to see. Yes, NDP have lost a lot and BQ have lost a little, but the CPC vote is also going down now.

    • does lemmy discriminate community against instances?

    Jump

  • haha are you saying "maybe slightly more right leaning" is an offensive stereotype?

    • Would you eat a strawberry crown?

    Jump

  • I came here to say the same thing! They love the top bit.

    • Gould says she would chart a 'path' to a basic personal income

    Jump

  • This is even more wishy-washy than Trudeau's electoral reform promises, so we can safely assume this will also go nowhere.

    I'm also sick of hearing about UBI that is income-adjusted, because then it's just welfare, which is a different concept altogether.

    • Go to wikihow and press on "random article". That is what you die doing. How do you die?

    Jump

    • Ford seen on video saying he was '100% happy' Trump won U.S. election — until tariff threat

    Jump

  • On one hand it's pathetic that it took him this long to realize (or he's lying to everyone), but it's still better than my premier (Danielle Smith) who is still licking Trump's boots despite the existential threat to Canada and especially Alberta. It would be a massive upgrade to see her admitting something like this :/

    • Trump to pause promised tariffs for 30 days after speaking with Trudeau

    Jump

  • I don't consider $1.3B in spending on border security for a 30 day pause as a victory here. After 30 days, what's the next thing that Trump is going to manipulate our country into doing? This is a test of our sovereignty and we are losing.

    • White House says Canada has 'misunderstood' tariff order as a trade war, Mexico is 'serious'

    Jump

  • Trump will keep moving the goalpost and try to shape our domestic policy. Keep fighting, do not negotiate with terrorists

    • Carney promises to scrap carbon pricing if he becomes Prime Minister

    Jump

  • My issue with the carbon tax has always been that consumers are not able to afford to make choices that reduce their consumption. For example, renters are unable to stop using gas heating. Most people cannot afford electric cars, or if they can, the infrastructure to actually charge it (house / garage).

    Also, although it's obvious how much carbon tax I'm paying on my own gas bills, it's not clear to me how much food prices have gone up as a result of carbon tax on the transportation of that food.
