Long wait times have become increasingly common in Canada, leading some residents to travel outside of the country to have medical surgeries and procedures done sooner.

Surprise: when you cut and defund a service, and drive away the front line workers, then that service deteriorates.

The real question is: was it intentional (to promote privatization), was it incompetence, or was it apathy?
