Canada’s nurse recruitment leaves Ghana short-staffed

Canada has been looking outside its borders to fill a critical nurse shortage, but recruitment efforts are leaving Ghana’s hospitals short-staffed. Now Ghana’s nurse association says Canada should foot the bill for their training.
The billionaires in this country won't even pay enough taxes to train our own nurses, are they really going to pay another country?
It's amazing how we twist our logic around it all .... a first world country is draining the resources of a third world country to save money and keep billionaires from paying taxes
Canada is basically sucking on lives of the Ghanaians who already have very little or nothing, just to make our lives and the lives of our wealthy class easier.
It's absolutely sickening.
Not our lives, just the lives of the wealthy class. Our lives would be easier if we would pay enough to train and retain our own nurses so there wasn't any shortage.
They should.
Or hey! Maybe the feds could just make sure billionaires pay their fair share of taxes instead. That way they wouldn't feel so ostracized from us.
sigh
Apparently globalization is a double-edged sword.
Pretty shitty move by the provinces to steal a poorer nation's medical staff to fill their shortages.
Maybe, but not shitty for the nurses
Immigration is entirely a federal matter. The provinces may utilize these nurses once they are here, and reasonably so, but the provinces do not have the jurisdiction to bring them into Canada. The provinces could not 'steal' them even if they wanted nothing more. Only Canada can. Which is also why Ghana is calling on Canada, not the provinces of Canada, to make amends.
Sure. Imagine how bad it is being from a poor country and being offered a lot more money, better work and life conditions. Truly awful.
