Emergency rooms across Canada are facing a growing crisis — staffing shortages, burnout, worsening wait times, closures, a lack of adequate funding and a surge of patients seeking urgent care threatening to overwhelm a system on the brink of collapse.
Ontario Conservatives: Another round of funding cuts will sure fix it this time!
At least all the provincial premiers are on the same page for once… sadly, that page is to do nothing.
Surely if we allow them to privatize parts that should fix the funding issue, hopefully people only need healthcare they can afford!

Manitoba and Alberta conservatives quickly follow.
A family member of mine works in a BC hospital and told me that they were specifically instructed to understaff and underhire.
The system is intentionally sabotaging itself in an attempt to go private.
We train too few doctors and nurses, and the pay in the most needed positions is too low. There are plenty of bandaid solutions around but unless these underlying issues get solved nothing will change.
