FYI, that means 15% of Canadians don't have a doctor.

COVID hillbillies made them all retire. Like "fuck this shit", and the supply being what it is it's gonna take yeeeeears to replace that many.

Huh. Reading the article now that I have time, they cite massive immigration as an issue, not to mention training people from other countries who then go home.

I know people in hospitals that retired when COVID hit, but not GPs. Not to say it isn't the case, but I'd like to see a large study showing WTF is going on.
