Yes! I hope Canada becomes the art capital of the world!
Canada should take advantage of this situation to hire US scientists and doctors too.
Reminds me of another place that took in a lot of scientists running away from a Nazi rejime.
Hey. We don't fault talent for being born in a decline. We'll just be rescuing them.
Oh. And doctors and nurses and air traffic controllers and computer coders too. Sorry, but thanks.
Sadly the opposite is happening right now for healthcare and research. Wages are low, housing is expensive. In the states wages are higher and housing is cheaper, its a no brainer. I've seen MASSIVE brain drain over the years, hopefully wages adjust or housing crashes or both but we definitely need to reassess our priorities.
One thing to note, though, with the current situation in the US is that people are deciding against coming here for work in many of those sectors. From science and engineering to doctors and college professors, I've heard multiple people saying that their European colleagues have turned down jobs in the US.
Canada has been fighting a war on science almost as long as the US (I remember hearing about issues with the conservative government in Canada back during the 2000s), but this is a real time of opportunity to bring smart people in.
Ouai! Projet Trombone! Sera fantastique!!
#MyFaceWhen my best 'project paperclip but in Canada' joke falls super flat. Ah well.
If the may talented Canadians that work in the USA returned it would definitely benefit Canada artistically.
They're already the movie and TV show making capital. They've got a head start.
