Problem with that is we gotta offer a higher salary, which we can't afford right now. Now with how medicare is being sabotaged by conservative provincial governments.
For many of them, just coming to Canada is worth making a few bucks less.
Not living under fascism and the threat of going to prison for doing your job is worth a pay cut for some. That said, we shouldn't underpay medical professionals.
They're already very well paid. A bit too much in my opinion. Sure they have a lot of responsibilities and there's a lot of risks. But so do engineers, and they're not even close to what medical professionals do. (Correct me if I'm wrong though)
Edit:
Here's a link with data about medical professional salaries in Canada:

And here is one with the data for France:

I mean, mental health is worth something. Iโd be willing to take a pay cut.
If they stay in the US for the money, they deserve to stay there and see what happens.
Every province can afford it tho (prior to this tariff fiasco anyway). 2 years ago Trudeau gave each province extra billions to fund healthcare ... but he wanted the premiers to sign a contract stating they would spend the money on healthcare.
Every one of the premiers told him to fuck off. So if a province is doing pretty shitty in healthcare right now (looking at you NB) it's because the premier decided to spend that money on other stuff.
