Quebec has had issues with vacant family medicine seats for years. All the way back in 2009 they had 60% of their seats vacant. To make it worse Quebec has added more family resident seats over the past few years.

Residents are paid like garbage but Alberta does pay the highest, so that's a bad sign.

The most annoying part of all this to me is if we have a strong, acessible family med system as a base we'll save a lot of money at other levels. If things are caught early the treatments are less invasive, patients are less likely to require hospitalization and so on.
