Doctors get "carrot" to practice in rural B.C.

Yep, wouldn't want to have to foot that bill. Canadians have so much to be thankful for!
Yep, he was certainly one spoke in the wheel!
Wasn't medical brought in by.....Gasp! Trudeau?
Nah, I think Trudeau was still in three cornered pants when Tommy started on the project-
As Karrie said, its been working in Alberta for years. A lot of doctors find they like it out in the hinterlands, once they get things rolling, and don't really want to move, later on. Typically the ones that do, are the ones that are working on becoming specialists and thus require that larger population base. As for "requiring" new doctors to establish a practice in a certain area, I don't know how you could legally do so, and if you could, its just incentive to move out of BC to a different province that doesn't have that type of restrictions on docs.

Well, my family has been cared for by Doctor's from South Africa for over 30 years. They have to pass the requirements to be allowed to practice in Canada. Their Credentials are highly respected in every country in the world.
Perhaps you just ran into someone with whom you were not compatible.

It was one of the policies in the CCF/NDP platform that Trudeau stole to keep the movement from gaining momentum. It was first implemented and conceived in Saskatchewan by Tommy Douglas.
I'm pretty sure Trudeau had a minority government at the time and it was one of the concessions he gave them in order to have their support to keep his government from going down in a non confidence vote. I've always thought that minority Liberal governments with NDP backup was the best type of governments we have had. Most of our social safety net was gained by such governments. Conservative majorities have always been the most destructive.
Do you think the income splitting for seniors brought in by Harper is destructive Cliffy? I've benefitted about $2000 a year from it. Do you really think the N.D.P. contribute to tax reduction?
Which Government brought in Pension-income splitting to seniors in '07 which gives me a couple of thousands savings in taxes yearly???
OMG it's Harper's....................

Couple thousand? That was a cheap buy. You can't even get a good used car for a couple grand.
But hey, if your're happy, you're happy.
But hey, if your're happy, you're happy.
Would you rather have the two grand or would you rather let the bastards in Ottawa have it?
Like everyone else, Harper is partly good and partly bad!
