I don’t think we would see it. Wages are regional within the US based on local supply and demand. Canada would initially be a lower wage region. The barriers to moving are significant enough that the affect would be very slow. It would not be an instant switch. For professionals it’s relatively easy to work in the US in O+G if you are interested. I just don’t see the boarder as a dramatic barrier currently so removing it won’t have dramatic results.
Int would take 40 years of new grads for this change to occur. Look at the EU for an example. There isn’t broadly equalized wages across the member states.
(I like these hypotheticals. Much more fun than the real world)
