The number of people leaving the emergency department across the country has been on the rise in recent years.

About a half a million Canadians left emergency departments before being seen by a doctor in 2024, according to a data analysis by CBC’s Marketplace.

Because B.C. and Quebec report these figures based on the fiscal calendar (and include parts of 2025), that number is likely a lot higher.

I think you just effectively demonstrated the cruelty of reform-based politics. Many people here cannot afford to wait for the suburbanites to suspend their capitalist values or develop empathy; how many have died waiting? To suggest that more blood is needed to make this system work is a great example of exactly why it doesn't and will never work to the benefit of our most vulnerable people.

It is also laughable to consider that the majority decides what policies are platformed in the infamously stratified voting system Canada subscribes to.
