Hey Americans! If you work in healthcare and you've thought about moving to Canada, in this video I'm going to tell you how, and about people here who are waiting to help you, and it won't cost you anything. But first, I think you should know about what most Canadians think about you. We think you deserve better. I'm not talking about what, like, who's in the White House or anything like that. I mean a better day-to-day life for everyone, regardless of, of who you voted for. Like, teachers shouldn't need two weekend jobs. The richest country in the world shouldn't let its citizens go bankrupt because they had cancer. Here in Canada, we are a, a young country compared to you. We're still growing, and we need people. Teachers, tradespeople, vets, and healthcare workers. What can we offer? A place where unions protect you, where you don't need to buy your kids bulletproof backpacks, where medical debt does not exist Because we consider healthcare a human right, not something to be sold. If you're a healthcare worker who works directly with patients, there are dozens of communities in every part of this country ready to help you get here, answer your questions, point you to jobs, uh, uh, introduce you to immigration consultants, recommend moving companies. They're part of a grassroots movement my wife and I started called the Healthcare Infusion, and you can learn about all of these communities at healthcareinfusion.org. Or you can learn about where we live at nanaimoinfusion.ca. Already, in just the last In the last 16 months, nearly 200 American nurses, 18 doctors, and countless other healthcare workers have accepted jobs here and moved here to Vancouver Island. You won't be alone. We're not a company. We're just regular people, volunteers, who want to help you get to Canada, to sanity, to safety. Because wouldn't it be nice to have arguments about healthcare that are about how to make it better, not whether sick people deserve it.
