This isn't a conservative problem as you want to portray it, it's a systemic Canada wide staffing problem that covid simply put a magnifying glass to.
It needs to be done from the education level onwards. Grants, etc, importing nurses and doctors from other countries. More capacity doesn't fix staffing issues, people need to be enticed into nursing and medical practices, while the boomer population gets older. Status quo just won't work. |
Assuming good pay and work conditions are high on that list that entice people to jobs, which is the opposite of what has been happening for decades. Perhaps if we hadn't been so eager to fill hockey arenas, we'd have a bit less burnout. But I know how that suggestion went over this winter with people around these parts.
