This is the reason your ER doctors are leaving: You don’t have a family doctor, and you can’t get an admission bed. So you end up waiting and waiting in the ER for a physician in c/canada@lemmy.ca

Back when I was in school, there were at least 3 people in my grade ( of like 30 kids) that both wanted to become a doctor and had the grades to probably do it. Not a single one of them was able to afford the schooling.

Canada really needs to do more for potential medical students. Why is the most important industry gatekept by wealth?

Seriously, the only people who can 100% say if she is or isnt are actual natives.

A little bit off topic but I know plenty of white presenting people who have some native ancestry that know fuck all about native culture, Mostly because of the residential school fuckery. Many of them would like to learn more about the heritage that has basically been erased from their family's identity but hold back because they dont want to get labeled as a faker or whatever the native version of a weeaboo is. A few have gotten their status cards and have started to get involved, but who does and doesn't get their status seems random at times.

Its more economical to produce a low-value but high volume product as close to where its being used.

Were people thinking that their big bulky packs of toilet paper were being shipped by boat across the pacific from china? The shipping cost would wipe out any profits.

Millionaire builds 99 tiny homes to help his community in c/canada@lemmy.ca

Honestly, my biggest worry/criticism is that there is no way to prevent these 99 homes from becoming 99 Airbnb's.

Don't think there is any way for them to prevent that though.

Canada is the only G7 country without a national school food program. Advocates say it's time in c/canada@lemmy.ca
[–] GreasyTengu@sh.itjust.works 4 points 11 months ago

Grew up in Newfoundland, always thought school lunches were some American tv thing like how every 'struggling' sitcom family being able to afford an apartment in the city/suburbs. Thought that people complaining about the quality of the free food they were given was some sort of running gag.
