That's not really a consequence of US policy though, that's a consequence of private universities in the US being better. You could argue that is a consequence of policy but that's a fairly downstream effect and I'd argue that Canadian policy is to improve Canadian institutions is the solution so it's still in Canadians hands.

- boringg 2y agoNo its a consequence of earning potential after going to school. If you go to the US you get special student visa which allows you to earn USD and if you are goijg into medicine your lifetime earnings are considerably higher in the US. Canada has great schools but you don't have brand recognition/massive alumni networks/endowments like the US nor do you get visa access.
- calf 2y agoI see it not as a consequence of policy but a bigger picture consequence of hegemony, a sociopolitical and technological phenomenon over human societies. More concretely, I'd argue the neighboring Canadian brain drain is dual to the Mexican migration and exploitation of Latino workforce, again this gravitational pull of a world superpower being at work. It is a broader problem--the harm done to the social integrity of neighboring states--than merely policy.
