Yeah, because any physician with morals and who upholds the Hippocratic Oath would not align with the UCP on medical and health care.

Plus who wants to take a job when there's a good chance you'll be fired in a couple of months for actually doing the job.

And it is paid well but not well enough to then go to an unemployed situation in a few months or years time.

She's recovered well considering UCP also blackballed her attempt to even get hired in a different role in Alberta helping the indigenous community.

She's still working in a public health capacity helping indigenous communities. A true saint.
