Comment, Paula Koval:
ReplyDeleteTaco and his merry band of brigands never had respect for knowledge, medicine, science, or education in any form. Dr. Fauci, Dr. Angela Rasmussen, and other experts in epidemiology and virology (Dr. Rasmussen) were forced out of their jobs. Some have left America for Canada. Three Yale professors will be teaching at the University of Toronto in September.
Point: Canada welcomes those leaving America. Many medical specialties, licensed professionals, skilled trades, certified professionals, teachers, and child care providers are needed in Canada.
Look into coming to Canada. There, you can have a comfortable lifestyle while working in your chosen occupation.
