Reply to comment by Derpazor1 in [OC] Number of physicians per 1000 residents by giteam
It's insane because a little over 40 years ago we had over 6 doctors per 1000. But we collectively decided to vote in austerity lovers at the federal and provincial level like Mulroney and Chrétien. We stopped expanding the number of med school positions and residencies to match population growth. We stopped investing in public assets, stopped building public housing, sold off lucrative and beneficial public assets to "balance the budget" one random year every few years. The end result is a housing and healthcare system in rapid decline.

Plenty of kids also don't lie, but say what they think you want to hear. Especially if you give them leading questions or information. Look at the Satanic panic.

No, that's only a small part of it.
It's because we stopped expanding the number of medical graduates and residencies (not just doctors either) to keep up with population growth. 40 years ago we had over 6 doctors per 1000 people. But then we started voting for people like Mulroney and Chrétien and it was all downhill from there as we slowly destroyed public services and crown corps in favour of neoliberal economics.
