Canada has been looking outside its borders to fill a critical nurse shortage, but recruitment efforts are leaving Ghana’s hospitals short-staffed. Now Ghana’s nurse association says Canada should foot the bill for their training.

The billionaires in this country won't even pay enough taxes to train our own nurses, are they really going to pay another country?

It's amazing how we twist our logic around it all .... a first world country is draining the resources of a third world country to save money and keep billionaires from paying taxes

Canada is basically sucking on lives of the Ghanaians who already have very little or nothing, just to make our lives and the lives of our wealthy class easier.

It's absolutely sickening.

Not our lives, just the lives of the wealthy class. Our lives would be easier if we would pay enough to train and retain our own nurses so there wasn't any shortage.

They should.

Or hey! Maybe the feds could just make sure billionaires pay their fair share of taxes instead. That way they wouldn't feel so ostracized from us.
