Maybe they should not be given visas and should stay put in Canada during those harsh Canadian winter. Let us see how they endure this coming winter.


Go ahead, enforce visa for US citizens and it will be reciprocated. Let us see what it does to Canadian and US economies. The result won't be so pleasant for Canada.

I and many others are way over C19, we start to wonder what is real when hospital workers are laid off due to nothing to do as elective surgeries were not allowed thus freeing health workers to only focus on C19 patients.

Its gotten to the point of being a comedy now.

You don’t understand why hospitals are laying off staff. Revenue is way off. They are losing millions of dollars and would go bankrupt and close without cutting labor costs. My girlfriend has staff in a half dozen Northeast Corridor urban hospitals. She had half of them on a 6 week furlough and then brought them back furloughing the other half. Now, she has to permanently lay off 20% of her staff. At director level, she’s taking a big pay cut and there’s 0% chance she will see her usual bonus.

It’s the whole problem with for-profit medicine. Hundreds of hospitals in poor and rural areas are going to close from this. That isn’t happening anywhere else in the world. Most hospitals are nonprofit but they can’t survive if they lose money.
