There appears to have been a large and possibly record-setting number of temporary ER closures or service interruptions across the country in 2023 so far, with CTV News finding hundreds instances where a hospital emergency unit, usually in a rural community, has been shut down for hours or days to Canadians seeking emergency care.

Oh yeah totally there's a "nursing shortage". Turns out if you treat people like shit, fight them tooth and nail to give them a pay cut in the middle of a pandemic where they're already stressed to the max some people will leave the profession. Let's not forget the 6%+ inflation Who would've thought this might happen? But then again it's all part of the plan isn't it
