And another big LIE

 I say 50/50.  The waiting window in the Canadian hospital system is no better than the US.  A 36 hour wait time is likely given the demand and chronic underfunding.  

 When I was last there an individual I was training with ended up with a wrist injury.  It took 33 hours for it to be examined since it was not an emergency admit.  

Canadian physicians reported a median wait time of 28.6 weeks between a referral from a GP and receipt of treatment - down from 30.0 weeks in 2024.

 Wait times have decreased in Alberta, Saskatchewan, Ontario, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island, while increasing in the other five provinces.
 Ontario has the shortest total wait at 19.2 weeks, followed by British Columbia - 32.2 weeks and Quebec at 32.5 weeks.

 Patient wait periods are longest in New Brunswick - 60.9 weeks, Prince Edward Island - 49.7 weeks and Nova Scotia at 49.0 weeks.

 The National 28.6 week total wait is compromised of two segments: 1 - Referral by a GP to consultation with a specialist: 15.3 weeks.
2 - Consultation with a specialist to receipt of treatment: 13.3 weeks.

 Among the various specialties, patients waited the longest for Neurosurgery at 49.9 weeks and Orthopedic Surgery 48.6 weeks.
Patients had shorter waits for Radiation Oncology - 4.2 weeks and Medical Oncology at 4.7 weeks.

 After seeing a specialist, Canadian patients waited 4.5 weeks longer than what physicians consider to be clinically reasonable 8.8 weeks.
Patients also had considerable delays for diagnostic technology: 8.8 weeks for CT scans, 18.1 weeks for MRI scans, and 5.4 weeks for Ultrasound.

 Across 10 provinces, it is estimated that patients in Canada were waiting for 1.4 million procedures in 2025.

MAGATs are always pointing out the wait times for Canada. They always focus on orthopedic surgeons. That's because the orthopods are concentrated along the US border, and the docs also treat patients in the US where there are no restrictions on what they can charge, so they delay the lower paying Canadian patients as long as they can. Stats can LOOK like they prove what you're saying, when they actually do not.

Canadian overall wait times are better than the US, when you only look at standard and emergency care. It's referrals to specialists that have them waiting a month or more. Again, those specialists, a a group, also practice in the US, so they delay the lower paying Canadian cases.
