Recruitment and retention of doctors in Ontario is "not a major concern," the Ministry of Health suggests in arguments it is making in arbitration with the Ontario Medical Association over physician compensation.

Anyone has room for that if it's not built in the style of American suburbs.
Also the tariffs against Canada are still in place, leaving Canada in a relatively isolated position compared to a couple of days ago. That doesn't really fit the narrative.
At the risk of being pedantic, this would be an export tax. (But I think maybe it's important to get these things right given how many people don't seem to understand that a tariff is a tax on imports.)
Every trip you take

There are so many reasons to not buy from Amazon. Not just the dopamine-fueled consumerism. Not just the anti-union shenanigans. Not just Bezos buying and destroying the Washington Post, and supporting Trump. It's an American company, and right now, that should be enough.
Good thing you don't have to worry about that two-party system anymore!
The cost? The cost in increased congestion when cycling is made less safe? The cost in pollution? In human lives from increased road deaths? How about those costs, Doug? The costs that matter most?
In Totalitarian Canada, Canadian spelling metres you!

The argument from the province comes as the OMA, which represents Ontario's doctors, has repeatedly warned that more than two million residents don't have a family doctor"
Not at all. What I would suggest is improving pay—but even more than that, working conditions—until family medicine work is not such a shitty proposition that medical students don't even want to go through the residency process to train for it.
Why would you want to beat down someone else instead of demanding that everyone gets risen up?
Becoming a family doctor in Canada is a minimum 9-year (usually more) postsecondary education. That's life they're not getting back. And taxpayer-subsidized though it may be, most family doctors start their careers with six-figure student debt to pay off.
Being a family doctor is emotionally demanding, important to society, and increasingly complex. People can, and do, choose to make more money for less effort in other fields. It's no longer a promising career path for intelligent young people, which is leading to a shortage of people doing work we all depend on.
So OK, maybe you have no sympathy for them. But don't be surprised next time you need medical help and there's nobody there to help you.
I don't think the CMA has much power over this. Medical school and residency spots are controlled by provincial governments, and even the provincial medical associations exist at the will of provincial governments. I'm not saying you're wrong that this might be the CRA'stake, but I don't see much of a causal relationship there.
Much more immediate, I think, is the unwillingness of (more or less conservative, and as you point out, neoliberal) governments to fund medical schools and residencies because the impact on voters would take almost a decade, which is much longer than an election cycle.
I hate how these articles always dance around the main issue. Yes, team-based care is great. But what we really need is to urgently train thousands of family doctors and nurse practitioners. We have a massive shortage and it's only getting worse. But nobody wants to pay for it, and even lefty outlets like The Walrus aren't calling for urgent funding. I dread what this is going to look like in ten years.
The confusion all seems to be coming from Unity's end. It's pretty clear to everyone that this is just plain ol' enshittification.
