You're asking the right question. It makes no sense that there aren't raises across the board for healthcare workers who fall under the umbrella of working in the provincial healthcare system when the provincial leadership is getting a fat raise to counter inflation.

That said I was replying to the question of "should politicians be well compensated" to which I still think the answer is yes, since it makes a leadership position a good career path for someone who's legitimately competent in their field. We don't need more people like Legault and his cronies in politics, we need working class people who don't come from old and lobbied money, and the way to do that is by making local politics more accessible to the working class.

And yeah, we should be getting better from elected officials, since right now it feels as though they'll only listen to corporate interests, thinking short term until we're back into the next electoral cycle.
