At least the department was open. There are some hospitals in Ontario that have to close theirs a couple of times a month because they can't scrounge up even one doctor to cover a shift.

This is what happens when you keep cutting budgets. Both healthcare and education has been stripped to the point of near failure.
Pallister did that when he shut multiple rural hospitals and closed multiple ER locations. It'll take some time before we get back to some semblance or normal.
WDYM that's not normal? Every time I've been to the ER, it's been packed and had to wait hours if you had something less urgent. I had broken my pelvis and one fixator pin had come loose from the halo, but the local hospital couldn't fix it, so I had to get a friend to drive me two hours to the closest hospital that could, and then had to wait another four hours until they could re-align my bones and tighten the fixator again. If the triage nurse decides you're not there for an emergency, they absolutely make you sit there until you give up and go away.
I keep hearing that Canada has horrible wait times, but it sounds the same to me? Does your ER not regularly run out of beds?

We all know why services of all types are failing while rents and housing has exploded in price. Low skilled immigration leads to a decrease in the standard of living, hence why we never did it historically.
We did it for Liberals to maintain power, by avoiding a technical recession. Then people rewarded them, as most of them that did it are still in power.
