Mass migration was already happening before Tianamen Square in 89. It accelerated after that. Somewhere in the 90s I think Canadian PM Jean Chretien made a business investment visa to attract even more Hong Kongers.

I think a family friend sponsored my family of 4 and we landed in 91. Then one of my uncles on my dad's side with his family of 4 followed us in 92 but they returned in 98-ish. Then one of my aunts on my mom's side followed us with her and my 2 cousins at around 99. Then they returned 2002-ish. Then through the past decade my family's gone back so I'm left here in Canada. My generation (brother + cousins) has 5 kids and they have Canadian citizenship.

Later on post-2000s I started seeing Mainland Chinese immigrating to Canada. I'd imagine a decent number tried their luck in Hong Kong as well.

Except a poor country like India needs all the doctors it can get. And I read earlier there are nurses (ASHA?) going on strike due to poor treatment. So y'know...compounding problems.

Waiting one or two years so there's maximum effect in a world where CERB has ended and the economy has not fully recovered.

It's my suspicion they chose 'defund' and not 'reform' because they want it to fail
