🇨🇦 Emergency doctors are leaving or reducing hours in face of 'hopeless' ER crisis: survey

One in 10 emergency doctors have already walked away, half have cut shifts, and the people running this country still sell Canadians the fantasy that the system is merely under pressure. No, it is broken by its own caretakers. The survey reported doctors describing emergency medicine as hopeless, patient safety at risk, and care being delivered in chairs, waiting rooms, and packed corridors while hundreds of thousands wait 14 hours or more.

This is what managerial liberalism looks like in real life: endless slogans, zero accountability, and a health system held together by burnout and denial. Trudeau-era Canada mastered the art of importing demand while failing to build capacity anywhere that matters. Then the same political class acts stunned when doctors preserve their sanity by leaving and patients preserve nothing at all. When even physicians say the system feels no longer functional, that is not a staffing hiccup. That is national decline dressed up as public policy.
