I’m Canadian in a city of around 1.5m and recently spent nearly ten hours in the ER for possible appendicitis (it wasn’t luckily). I spent around 15 minutes of that actually talking to anybody.

The Conservative premier of Ontario and other Conservative premiers are desperately trying to underfund our healthcare to the point where we ask for a US style system. “Starve the beast”. It feels like it’s working though because at this point I don’t even really feel like we have any healthcare.
