Comment: The Globe article headline is "Doctors warn thousands could leave for U.S. over new federal tax hikes".  This is a misstatement.  There are no "new taxes"  for doctors. It appears some doctors have discovered a loophole to avoid the existing taxes by multiple use  of a small business rate.  The government is closing the loophole, so the doctors now have to pay what they should have done all along, in common with most other Canadians.

I find it unbelievable that many doctors would want to move to the USA because they were denied a loophole in their taxes.  This would imply that these doctors have no commitment to Canada or our way of life, and few if any family ties to keep them here.  Does the Globe really have evidence that many doctors would move, or is it just an imaginary claim in order to create more sensational articles?
