| You called it. I have family looking to become a doctor in Canada, a country desperate for doctors. There is so much demand to get into the limited slots you can have a near-perfect score and still not get admitted. Canada's solution to this problem? Introduce a new test (CASPER) to further limit those who can apply. One of my daughters friends scored very well on the MCAT (Medical College Admission Test) but failed CASPER (????). These systems seemed "rigged" to artificially limit supply and drive up wages. She's now looking to the US so in the end, does Canada win by sending its medical professionals elsewhere? The unions are great, and had a place but now they work against the public's best interest by limiting supply to drive up wages. Cant be a nurse in Canada without joining the union. Everyone knows Salary is driven by salary/demand. Limit the supply what happens the price? |
