I think they (doctors here) have other concerns more about regulation / paperwork and overhead that comes with it, less than total compensation. Family doctors anyways.

That and the schools simply won't graduate enough of them. Doctor shortage is a serious problem. But so is nurse shortage post-COVID.

System here seems to be in crisis. Combination of many factors.

But all my experiences in the last few years have been... very positive? Excellent recent care for my teen at McMaster Children's Hospital. Family doctor 5 minute drive away, can get appointments quite quickly. So, yeah, it's regional and situation dependent.
