It's easy: stop sending federal funding to private clinics. Our taxes pay for public healthcare and should not be subsidizing the private sector. This will also free up more funds to pay our healthcare professionals what they're worth, which stops the exodus to the private sector.

We need to a) stop limiting the residencies available so we can graduate more doctors and b) start recognizing credentials from other contries that are up to our standards.
Barely relevant, but does anyone else find that article thumbnail is absolutely terrible? I was genuinely confused for a moment, not sure what I was looking at.
FWIW, I got it now, I'm not quite that inept.
An important factor is Canada's income tax rules cause most doctors to be in the highest possible tax bracket and loose a significant amount of income to taxes early in their careers. They take home quite a bit less for the same effort compared to other countries, especially the united states. This coupled with high costs of living and home ownership means there often needs to be factors outside of a good career to keep a doctor in Canada.
