    I guess I shouldn’t be surprised given the complexity of the problem. But all of these points in one article seem quite overwhelming.

    Personally I think access to family doctors and stronger communities (get people off their phones and talking to their neighbours) would fix the lions share of these issues.

    Provide a framework wherein nurses must be staffed at specific rates in hospitals and LTC homes so that these places can’t deliberately understaff, with penalties for not meeting the requirements.

    Let foreign doctors work towards Canadian credentials instead of forcing them into another field. Recognize more foreign schools so that people can train up to meet the Canadian standard.

    Those are the 2 that I’ve seen talked about the most.
