This is true, but residents aren't medical students and not the equivalent to midwife students. OB residents also have some of the most hilariously terrible work-life balances I've ever seen and are often sitting on somewhere between 100k to 200k of debt.

The last time I was in Kenora a cruiser with four cops pulled up beside me and they were all doing the redneck thing where they were climbing over each other and giving me the finger and having some sort of party in the cruiser as they passed. It was weird and one of the most redneck things I've ever personally witnessed. To confirm: yes, all four people in the cruiser were uniformed.

DetoxP posted:Medical students absolutely do not get paid. They actively lose money while they work. Oh, am I mistaken? I thought that they got paid while doing internships and residency. Obviously neither group gets paid while attending classes, but I thought that future doctors got paid for being out there doing medical work while being trained. That's something I'm hazy on though, so if you want to clarify, that'd be cool. Student midwives do two placements - one 4-month one fairly early on where they don't really have much responsibility and are primarily there to learn, and then a second year-long one where they are taking appointments with clients and doing the real work (while being supervised and advised). How does that compare to what med students do?

That's something I'm hazy on though, so if you want to clarify, that'd be cool. They do get paid but they also aren't considered "medical students". Residents start at just under $60k in Ontario, ramping up about $5k every year until they complete their residency. It varies based on the province and as with all medical professionals, Quebec pays the worst. So compared to full doctors yeah, it's pretty low. But still not a terrible salary, especially after a few years. Mr Luxury Yacht fucked around with this message at 16:23 on Sep 20, 2018 |

So we've only got about ten days left in Quebec's provincial election campaign and things have been pretty interesting. A very large amount of voters I spoke to said they were waiting for the leader's debate on the 13th to make their decision. When I watched the debate with my coworkers we were all yelling at the TV for Manon Massé (Québec Solidaire's Co-spokesperson) to interject more often. The debate had a timer that counted all the time they had spent talking and Manon was behind by five minutes. That said, it seems the overall effect was that Manon was perceived by many voters to be different than the three other bickering boys and was the only one to calmly and clearly discuss their actual platform. Several voters I have talked to since have said they changed their vote to us for this reason (go figure a debate actually influenced some people...). If you remember from the beginning of the campaign, François Legault's CAQ was strongly leading the polls with a projected CAQ majority government. They were seen by most voters as the party that represented the always vague, but powerful idea of "change". QS begun the campaign with about 8% popular support. Last Saturday after the debate performance that showed many that Legault was just like the other guys, a journalist asked him how long an immigrant needs to be in Canada before becoming a citizen. He answered "A few months" and the journalist shot back "It's 3 years Mr. Legault". Since then, he has had a lot of trouble keeping journalists from asking him precise questions on immigration which he again answered incorrectly on Sunday. Since the debate and this gaffe, his party has dropped 4-6% in the polls, enough to put the Liberals back in the lead. Remember, this is the dude who is proposing that after 3-4 years of being in Québec, that immigrants be subjected to a Québec history, culture and language test that if they failed, would be deported. He now says that they could try the test as many times as they would like and is changing his position every day. He is floundering and even asking journalists "Can't we talk about something other than immigration?" when he wanted to make it a issue for this election. While this is happening, QS has gained a lot of ground in the polls. Starting the campaign at 8%, in the polls most favourable to us, we are now at 17% and gaining every time a new one comes out. Oddly enough, we are starting to absorb this aura of "change" initially attached to the CAQ. Where the anti-establishment vote is in some cases transferring to us from the CAQ. Meanwhile from the Parti Québécois, Jean-François Lisée is flopping around trying to scoop up the growing progressive QS vote. The pivot has had him paint himself as the most environmentally friendly party and he has appealed to the strategic vote to block the CAQ or the Liberals. This is unfortunate, because many of the people we spoke to at the beginning of the campaign were die-hard PQ voters who had voted for them since the days of Réné Lévesque and had decided to finally try something new. If the PQ, which is currently stagnating in the polls, starts to gain ground, those people might go back to old habits. On the 17th, there was the first ever televised English language leader's debate which was a big deal in Québec, with some people even protesting against it. It was a vert important night for QS because they have a very limited access to the anglophone vote, perhaps by choice until now. Manon's English is not strong and when I watched the debate later on, I had a tough time understanding what she was trying to communicate. She was saved by her sincerity and by being last to give her closing statement which was quite well done and even invoked Corbyn by saying we want to "govern for the many and not the few". One of the more interesting things to come out of this campaign has come from calling into anglophone liberal strongholds (Greek or Italian communities) who frequently communicated that they were fed up with the language debate and having the liberals take their vote for granted. Watching an electoral campaign this closely has been interesting, but I feel that it gives you an unrealistic view of what is happening. If I were to look at polling data, the Liberals might win in a minority. If I were to trust more gut instincts, it feels like the Liberals are disliked by all including their own supporters and that for the first time, QS is being taken seriously as a true alternative. Just wanted to share this as especially with all the shenanigans going down at Queens Park right now, this doesn't seem to be penetrating into English media. What has been awesome is that the discourse is increasingly revolving around environmental issues and moving away from immigration.

Doulas have less training but they can't even cause much trouble if they try since they don't really do much, medically speaking. Midwives can be much more helpful but an unhelpful midwife is much worse than an unhelpful doula, if that makes sense. Edit: Regarding med students: it's often a 4 year program with the second half being working in a hospital, all of which is unpaid. Residency is after, is often 5 years, and is paid on salary. But you're not a student anymore. Calamity Brain fucked around with this message at 17:27 on Sep 20, 2018 |

Based on the "we", are you volunteering for the solidaires? I'd have loved to contribute if I wasn't expatriate. I wish I could be reassured by the polls, but unfortunately we've been bitten by FPTP far too often to rejoice yet. The best case scenario in my opinion (that is feasible) is a PQ minority with QS as the balance of power.

My highly unscientific sample size of two voters revealed that baby boomer Anglos think that Quebec Solidaire is a Super Separatist party that want to build five billion metro stations. Information about the QS platform is hard to acquire when all you listen to is CJAD, I guess.

They wanted to have the most diverse team possible and as a straight white male anglophone, I count as a minority for the first time in my life. The balance of power scenario would be great. Especially since all opposition parties have signed an agreement to make this the last FPTP election. Let’s hope no one pulls a Trudeau on that one though...

Yeah frustratingly, in past elections their website had an anglophone section but for non-political reasons that I shouldn’t say, they haven’t put one up yet, though that should be resolved shortly. It makes it hard when I convince anglophones that the environment is a problem without borders and we’re the only ones taking it seriously and then they ask where they can see the platform and it’s not in English :-(. Interesting camping promises made by them that I haven’t mentioned: nationalized interurbain bus service to replace greyhound type options, nationalized internet to make a competitor 30% cheaper than big telecoms, a nationalized battery production company to try to make Quebec a world leader in that tech (apparently there are lots of lithium deposits in Qc?), a maximum salary for companies receiving provincial funds set at 30x the lowest salaries employee. The metro station thing is true, I think the number was 32 new ones.

They're probably the most likely to push for a referendum, yeah, although not for separation for its own sake. In a recent interview, Gabriel Nadeau Dubois was saying that if the party wants to make its pro-environment, pro-transit issues heard at the federal level. But if the Liberals and other provinces keep championing pipelines and similar projects that go directly against their platform, then separation might well become a necessity. And given the Liberals's insistence on building this lovely pipeline no matter what, I guess that makes this outcome very likely. e: Which is actually why the PQ originally was pushing for independence, come to think of it.

People under 25 seem to frequently be apolitical or say they want to spoil their ballots. In Montréal there are posters in the student quarter saying “boycott the bourgeois election”. For the most part for the kids it seems to be a fight between QS and spoiling the ballot.
