🇨🇦 Six-hour wait, one dead Canadian, zero accountability

A man died after waiting six hours in an Edmonton ER, and Alberta Health Services is now investigating what everyone already knows: the system is collapsing under the weight of demand it was never scaled to handle. But don't worry, they'll form a committee, issue a statement, and remind you healthcare is a human right while you bleed out in the waiting room.

Meanwhile, Ottawa keeps the floodgates open and provinces absorb record population growth with the same infrastructure, same staffing, same beds. You're told to celebrate diversity while your grandmother waits nine hours for a CT scan. The math was never going to work, but questioning it makes you a bigot. This is what managed decline looks like: quiet, bureaucratic, fatal.
