With many nurses leaving and not

returning to the profession, provincial governments are trying to import more nurses. Quebec is even advertising in several other countries. (I imagine some people will come for the chance of better living conditions and higher salaries. If bonuses are offered, that may help matters.)

In Alberta, fewer nurses will likely mean UCP shuts down beds, wards, and perhaps even hospitals which will lead to more crises. Certainly, Kenney is not likely to offer any kind of bonuses or higher wages for such vital, dangerous work. (Too stoopid again, of course.)

Frankly, the health care system is already broken in this province and given the number of surgery cancellations (5000?), it’s not going to get any better. I would also predict that too many doctors will retire and that nursing home staff will exit, refusing to get Covid shots. Lord, help us all!
