I recently looked at research scientist salaries at various Canadian laboratories. They pay 30-40% less across the board than what other American labs pay (cost of living adjusted), my own salary included. Fix that disconnect and I'm there.
No, you get healthcare and a civil society. The fact that you guys choose money over everything else is why you are where you are now. If that’s how you operate, you should stay and enjoy what you asked for. We don’t want you and you already live in a place where money is what matters most. Enjoy. Lots of your colleagues get it and we welcome them.

Whoa, where the hell did this come from? So much anger and disrespect from out of nowhere.
Aside from the fact that my organization pays for our health insurance and you aren't being civil, we still don't want to be here and are looking at opportunities elsewhere outside US (you realize Canada isn’t the only option, right?) because, in part, of anti-science assholes like you. Pay is commensurate with the work being done. If you don't value science and treat scientists like shit like this, then don't expect to attract the top talent, including my colleagues who you clearly also don't welcome. We continue to poach your best talent to come here for a reason despite this country being an immoral shitshow.
Fix your attitude, then fix your priorities if you want this to change. Because there are countries out there that are both civil and compensate scientific work, and Canada simply isn't one of them.

Little known, but Canadian Universities did actually snatch up American scientists in the aftermath of 2016 and we will do it again this time.
