Manitoba hires 13 U.S. doctors, Premier calls moves a show of Canadian values

Manitoba has hired 13 U.S.-trained physicians to practise in the province, Premier Wab Kinew announced Friday, attributing the moves to values that differentiate Canada from the United States.

Flanked by provincial officials and one of the newly employed doctors at the Manitoba legislature, Mr. Kinew said President Donald Trump’s broad-scale restructuring of U.S. health and science agencies has provided an opportunity for Canada to attract workers who no longer feel valued or safe south of the border.
