Even at double their normal salary, it is just barely comparable to US nurse salaries. The tight-wad socalized medicine system in Canada is too cheap to pay what the market demands. So instead they revert to FORCE. Typical of a Socialist State.
It they had thought of tripling the salary, AND giving them decent protection, the market would flood them with volunteers.
And that US salary would be?
btw, Canada put obvious fake diagnoses on SARS deaths (Mark Steyn allegations).
Hindsight is a great thing. And imagination sometimes even greater. Where does Steyn, in any of his articles, make those allegations? Allegations which are allegations of illegal activity , which even Steyn knows enough not to make in print.
Why? Because they're not true.
