🇨🇦 Scotland Sends a Qualified Midwife — Canada's Bureaucracy Deports Her Back

British Columbia is in the middle of a documented healthcare worker shortage. A Scottish-born midwife arrived qualified, trained, and ready to work. The provincial regulatory system then ordered her to stop practicing, threatened her with deportation, and ultimately drove her back to Scotland. Advocates confirm the case was driven by bureaucratic errors, not professional misconduct.

This is the same government apparatus that lectures Canadians about healthcare access and champions mass immigration as a workforce solution. When a competent, English-speaking, Western-trained professional shows up and tries to contribute, the credentialing bureaucracy eats her alive and sends her home. Meanwhile the system imports hundreds of thousands of people annually with no plan for labor market integration and declares itself compassionate. The midwife shortage continues. The committees studying the midwife shortage continue. Nobody is accountable for either.
