At least they are fairly openly looking at spending where it matters. It will take time to sort some shit out, but it’s good to see them putting in effort to these areas at least. Meanwhile Alberta is handing out “stimulus” cheques.
It’s funny when left leaning governments do it cons scream communism but when cons do it it’s “stimulating the economic growth.”

I'm no politician but wouldnt it make more sense to cancel income tax for nurses and doctors rather than increase their wages? Whats tthe point of increasing wage when the gov takes more of it back?
This would also make the industry much more attractive to new doctors and nurses. 10 years in school seems way more attractive then when giving 50% of your pay back to the government.
