    Yup, this is exactly it. Hospitals are actually very efficient for what they offer and the costs keep rising and the funding does not increase to match those rising costs.

      Media never talks about this, but Ontario hospitals are frequently visited by US hospital managers because we are decades ahead of the US for efficiency.

        That’s horse shit. I have been in both US and Canadian hospitals for care and the US is a one stop shop while Canada’s are full of waiting lists and shortages. Now I have only seen East Coast and West Coast Canada but I can’t imagine how ON is a wonderland while there are horror stories from all across the rest of the country? COVID showed that our system was broken and the government has not done anything to fix it. Empty hospitals (Overflowing Trauma Centers) with no equipment to treat people and no Canadian manufacturing system to build what we need for ANYTHING. Our government is just talking about this shit now. Pipelines should have been built decades ago to provide much needed debt relief along with refineries to sell our gas and oil products to the word instead of buying it from the Middle East. This Buy Canadian program is going to RUIN Canada because the government is going to decide what companies are getting projects and who survives and doesn’t. We are not Commies we are a free market society.
