🇨🇦 Days in the ER, because Ottawa prefers slogans to beds

Psychiatric patients are now sitting in Canadian ERs for days waiting for admission, a grotesque little snapshot of a country that can import endless demand but somehow cannot build capacity for its own people. The data reported what every normal Canadian already knows: the system is jammed, staff are stretched, and the ruling class still acts like posting mental health platitudes counts as healthcare policy.

This is Trudeau-era governance in one scene: mass population growth, collapsing public services, and a political cartel more interested in DEI consultants, climate sermons, and global photo ops than hospital throughput. They love talking about compassion right up until a vulnerable Canadian is parked under fluorescent lights for two days because there is no bed. Ottawa and the provinces have spent years managing optics instead of capacity, and now the bill is here. A serious country puts citizens first, funds infrastructure before vanity projects, and stops pretending unlimited strain has no consequence.
