Your youtube algorithm must be hideous. how often you been to Toronto? 49% of the Toronto metropolitan area's population was born outside of Canada. Mississauga's population is falling. Mississauga is a city filled with economic immigrants. When the economy goes bad... they leave. so umm , ya. of the other 51% ... its pretty much guaranteed that a substantial % in that 51% have options outside Canada. You'd know this if you spent any time in the Greater Toronto Area. So, I'd say it is an accurate post. It is not a bad faith post. Toronto is declining fast. Toronto's child poverty rate jumped from 16.8 per cent to 25.3 per cent between 2020 and 2022. I can't blame any one for wanting out of Toronto. https://toronto.ctvnews.ca/1-in-10-torontonians-now-using-food-bank-amid-skyrocketing-costs-stagnate-wages-report-1.6644180 | ||

I wonder what it is you actually get out of this.

Ontario's leadership is not as smart as it was decades ago. People like Bob Rae, Mike Harris, Mel Lastman and Hazel Mccallion are far smarter than Doug Ford, Olivia Chow and Carolyn Parrish.

That is all gone now. Ontario was the economic engine of Canada. Ontario routinely took jobs away from every US state it bordered. That is no longer the case. Now the jobs are leaving Ontario. So relative to the developed world including Australia and the UK... Canada is getting crushed. https://financialpost.com/news/canada-standard-of-living-falling-behind On December 18 2024 16:37 iPlaY.NettleS wrote:Surprising that Trudeau has been in almost 10 years, we've had 4 in that time and will be 5 next year. Trudeau is a big reason I left. He has been really bad. Additionally, I do not see any leaders within Canada's major parties who can pull off the kinds of stuff Pierre Elliot Trudeau and Jean Chretien pulled off... in decades past. Those guys were geniuses. Singh , Poliveire, and Trudeau are not nearly as smart as leaders like Broadbent, Clark, Mulroney, Chretien etc etc. So I do not see a path where Canada can be great again. | ||

Hell Doug Ford is buddies with Walz. As for the rest, I think if you are a fairly wealthy single guy the US looks appealing. Lower taxes and chance at higher wages. Then if you are a woman, not so much. And if you are thinking of having kids not so much, maybe if you are private school kind of wealthy, but the whole school shooting thing is pretty scary, you have the expense of pregnancy's and super shitty maternity. If you are not healthy it is basically a no go. I know 0 people looking to move to the US. For JT, I think this was the final nail. My big question is where the Liberal votes go, Conservative or NDP. I would not at all be shocked by a Conservative gov with a NDP official opposition. | ||

I would not at all be shocked by a Conservative gov with a NDP official opposition. i know lots of women who prefer the USA. They're nurses. My #1 Canadian customer is a nursing org employing 5,000 nurses. They're getting crushed. The level of violence nurses face in Canada is obscene. https://ottawa.citynews.ca/2022/09/03/ontario-nurses-facing-rising-rates-of-violence-from-patients-5775227/ Not only is the violence affecting them physically, but it has also had a serious impact on workers’ mental health. A 2020 study from the Canadian Federation of Nurses Unions found “disturbing rates of mental disorder symptom” with physical assault being the traumatic event reported most, affecting 92.7 per cent of nurses. Canadian nurses are leaving the profession in droves. https://financialpost.com/fp-work/young-nurses-leaving-working-condition American nurses can build a satisfying career in medicine. It is very difficult for a Canadian nurses to do so https://www.aha.org/news/headline/2024-04-01-hrsa-survey-nursing-workforce While overall job satisfaction remains relatively high at 80%, the share of nurses who expressed some degree of dissatisfaction with their primary nursing position nearly doubled between 2017 and 2022 to 19.9%. This is why you'll never hear of an American nurse moving to Canada for "better working conditions". However, it is a frequent comment when a Canadian nurse moves south. The Canadian healthcare system is falling apart. This is why Quebec has the option of paying for your own care. https://montreal.ctvnews.ca/quebec-senior-facing-years-long-wait-pays-thousands-for-private-hip-surgery-1.6348543 $21,500 for a hip replacement surgery. The Ontario border is littered with private healthcare clinics and Canadians are their customers. Got any kind of orthopaedic issue at all in Ontario? You're going to Buffalo and paying for an MRI. https://www.reddit.com/r/ontario/comments/1e4yobr/any_way_to_get_15year_mri_quicker/ guy needs his brain tumour checked and has to wait 1.5 years. tragicomedy. if you think the link is BS or it is anecdotal and its not a problem then why are there MRI clinics lining the Ontario//New York border? In 2024, the only way to get excellent healthcare in Canada or the USA is to have a good job with good extended medical benefits. If you're in Ontario or Quebec... a good savings account helps a lot as well so that you can pay out of pocket.

According to Canadians... Canada is not a good place to raise a family. https://angusreid.org/birth-rate-crisis-child-care/ birth rate is 1.26. Lowest in the history of the country. https://ici.radio-canada.ca/rci/en/news/2108812/canada-lowest-ever-fertility-rate "Canada has now joined the group of 'lowest-low' fertility countries, including South Korea, Spain, Italy and Japan, with 1.3 children per woman or less," A record low birth rate combined with widening the eligibility for medical assistance in dying.

That is if the Liberal stronghold in urban Quebec finally caves as that seems to be Trudeau's only remaining support. That is a good point, I completely brain farted on the Bloc. They could end up the winner of this, even if the conservatives pick up the Liberal seats. | ||

https://nursesunions.ca/campaigns/violence/ Nearly half of nurses (46.4%) reported exposure to physical assault 11 or more times. No wonder nurses under 35 are either leaving the profession or pursuing nursing outside of Canada. Hey CBC, let's not discuss pegging, Chrystia Freeland, and Justin Trudeau in the same headline... ok? There are already enough rumours about why Justin's wife bolted. https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/liberals-freeland-trudeau-successor-1.7417301 | ||

https://www.nationalnursesunited.org/press/nnu-report-shows-increased-rates-of-workplace-violence-experienced-by-nurses 8 of 10 nurses experiencing workplace violence. 6 of 10 RN considering leaving the field in the hospitals surveyed. There are studies and studies concerning the increase in workplace violence in the USA https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9536186/ A few posts up, you mentioned the cost in Quebec of a private "hip replacement" surgery. Canada has free healthcare compared to the USA. There will be tradeoffs when such a system is used. Canada is known to be pretty effective in keeping healthcare costs per person down compared to other developed countries. One tradeoff is that procedures that are not deemed "necessary or lifesaving" have a delay. This is the norm in many countries with the same type of healthcare system. I watched this video recently and thought it did a great job discussing the benefits & negatives of Canada's healthcare system. It is 10 years old but covers some of the stuff you mentioned. | ||

You're trying to make the argument that Canada is bad for nursing and quote an article about violence against nursing and imply that America is somehow better. Guess what? If you want to build a career in healthcare then Canada is a poor place to do that. The USA is a better place for healthcare professionals. Do you know any one who works in the healthcare industry in Canada? Job satisfaction is low. https://journals.plos.org/globalpublichealth/article?id=10.1371/journal.pgph.0002675 6.5 million Canadians do not have a family doctor. https://www.cma.ca/healthcare-for-real/why-it-so-hard-find-family-doctor It is a lousy experience for a healthcare professional to have to deal with a parade of people they've never met. This is what happens when such a large portion of Canadians do not have a family physician. Emerg is not a place for high job satisfaction. It is a warzone. How many American nurses move to Canada or cross the border every day to work in Canada? How many Canadian nurses move to the USA or cross the border daily to work in the USA? All I hear on Ontario radio all day and all night is ads sponsored by the government about how Ontario is bringing in 87 bazillion new nurses. That's because Ontario can not keep nurses because the career is garbage in Canada. https://financialpost.com/fp-work/young-nurses-leaving-working-conditions Number of nurses leaving the profession before they turn 35 up sharply in recent years For every 100 nurses trained in the country who started working in the field in 2022, there were 40 who left the profession before their 35th birthday, the report released on Sept. 25 reveals. This means that in a single decade, the proportion of young nurses abandoning the system has gone up 25 per cent from 2013. Article content Some of the most commonly cited concerns by these nurses were a lack of control over their work schedules. Their principal sources of workplace stress include mandatory overtime and a lack of shift flexibility. | ||

Also,I do know many nurses who work in Toronto, Vancouver, and other parts of Canada. i have 26 cousins. 8 are nurses. Here is Canada's health care system in crisis. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/abbotsford-regional-hospital-overcrowding-doctors-1.7411043 This means that socialized medicine will not solve a Canadian patient's problems. Like Americans with their patch work system ... now every Canadian must be street wise and savvy to navigate the labyrinth the Canadian system has become. | ||
