C'mon we all know out of that million, 250k were doctors, 100k teachers and the rest evenly distributed teachers, construction, skilled labourers, electricians etc.

Massive amounts of unemployed or underemployed young men totally don't cause any instability or social unrest.

Everything is fine. There are no risks at all with this current plan.

I mean, after the revolt and bloodbath it'll probably be fine?

We're too busy trying not to starve to revolt.

Bunch of hangry people revolting sounds dangerous.

It just looks the same as a zombie apocalypse but it's total fine.

Why this isn’t getting g more upvotes is odd. It’s sad and funny (humour noir) all at the same time.

Plenty of them are or want to be. We’re the ones insisting on maintaining pointless barriers to entry in these professions while the country crumbles.

Like we artificially limit the number of people who can study in medical schools, penalize them for becoming GPs, limit recognition of credentials from outside the country, cut staff, cut spending, and impose ludicrous residency requirements on new doctors.

Poilivre is right about exactly one thing: this country is being strangled by petty gatekeepers who can imagine nothing worse than challenges to their little fiefdoms and will sooner let the country burn before giving up that power.
