I see Canadians posting wait times on twitter, I saw a wait time in the hospital of 15 hours, the average was maybe 9 hours.
Police States are expensive. Even more expensive if the U.S no longer subsidizes us and we just lost another 5,000 jobs in Ontario alone.
The place is sinking, there is no question. Look to Canada to be Moscow circa 1980 soon enough.

Ottawa’s largest hospital plans to cut three per cent of its workforce over the next few months as it deals with budget pressures, which would equate to approximately 400 positions.
The Ottawa Hospital confirms to CTV News Ottawa that while it has implemented a series of measures to reduce budget pressures and find savings, there will “be some reductions to job positions in the coming months.”
“We are in the process of working with unions and teams throughout the hospital to finalize specific details,” a hospital spokesperson said in a statement.
“These reductions amount to three per cent of our overall workforce, however through vacancy management and early retirement options, we will work to limit any involuntary departures.”
The Ottawa Hospital says it is committed to “maintaining our capacity to provide specialized services for emergencies, surgeries, clinics and inpatient care while continuing to find new, innovative and more efficient ways to deliver care to our community.”
According to the Ottawa Hospital’s 2024-25 annual report, there are 13,281 employees at the hospital, including 5,200 nurses, 1,724 physicians and 1,186 resident physicians.
The hospital says it has been working with the Ontario government to “address the financial challenges facing the health-care sector.”
“Starting in 2025, TOH began a comprehensive benchmarking exercise involving medical, clinical and non-clinical leaders to compare its operations to those of peer hospitals,” the hospital said.
“This work has informed a broader review of hospital operations and spending. We are working to protect jobs and maintain access to service so we can continue to provide excellent care for our community.”
The Ottawa Hospital says it has implemented a “series of measures to reduce budget pressures, find savings and preserve health care positions.”
“These include offering early retirement for those who are eligible, freezing and eliminating vacant positions, implementing innovative ways to provide care that are more efficient, returning to pre-COVID funded levels of staffing, freezing travel, and moving to a more economical provincial group benefits plan,” the hospital said.
The Ottawa Hospital operates three campuses: the Civic Campus on Carling Avenue, the General Campus on Smyth Road and the Riverside Campus.
