Its Not Just American Doctors Looking to Flee Drumpf's Despotism

Someday, maybe, but doubtful... the Ma and Pa MAGA's of our world will acknowledge that having a government that is hostile toward science, toward medicine, toward the truth, toward reality, toward our laws, toward our constitution and toward democracy, not only does NOT Make America Great Again, it actually makes us not very much better than your run-of-the-mill, tyrannical, third-world shithole, albeit one with nukes.

All of the Fox "news" manufactured bullshit talking points can't hide the reality that is going to hit these Drumpf voters when the talented Americans of science, medicine, technology, the Arts and education begin fleeing the US because of threats to their institutions, their livelihoods, and even their personal freedom from Drumpf, Elmo and MAGA.  Just wait until that exodus of talent begins to adversely impact their communities and lives.  Granted, most of these MAGA diehards are nihilists anyway and as long as Drumpf is hurting the people they hate the most, they don't give a shit if they themselves get caught up as victims of their hero's oppressive wrath.  Its that way because that is pretty much how cults work.

"Michael is among a new wave of doctors who are leaving the United States to escape the Trump administration. In the months since Trump was reelected and returned to the White House, American doctors have shown skyrocketing interest in becoming licensed in Canada, where dozens more than normal have already been cleared to practice, according to Canadian licensing officials and recruiting businesses.

The Medical Council of Canada said in an email statement that the number of American doctors creating accounts on physiciansapply.ca, which is "typically the first step" to being licensed in Canada, has increased more than 750% over the past seven months compared with the same time period last year — from 71 applicants to 615. Separately, medical licensing organizations in Canada's most populous provinces reported a rise in Americans either applying for or receiving Canadian licenses, with at least some doctors disclosing they were moving specifically because of Trump."


A 750% increase the number of US doctors applying to relocate to Canada.

Why??

See the last three, bolded words in the above quoted paragraph.
