Mostly this problem is contained in the fact that the US makes it so difficult for Canadians to get green cards (you heard it here), but if an American orchestra really wants a player, they have their ways.

Ergo, because of the money problem, it is probable that our orchestras will soon go down in quality.

For many years, the government of Canada has massively supported orchestras and the arts in general.

I had been playing since I was 2 years old, never remembering a life without music, always playing everything naturally and mostly by ear, and all the grownups wanted were more scales and drudgery out of me.
