Look at Alberta then at BC 👀
Do you people want to still keep electing conservative governments!?
The reason BC looks like it has no closures is because it took them 7 months to provide the data after the information was requested, they didn’t provide data for all the years requested, and the data arrived 2 days before publication. Archive source
This isn’t one of those cases where we can point and say “look at how bad the conservatives are” when BC didn’t provide the data requested that every other province (regardless of governing party) did. This is kind of more embarrassing because we know BC has ER closures.
All provinces/territories deserve better healthcare, don’t let missing data trick you into thinking BC is doing healthcare perfectly.
Look at Quebec, Ontario, and BC, and compare them to the rest of the country. There are two divides, but I'd say the divide between almost no closures and no closures is less significant than the divide between almost no closures and a lot of closures.
I maintain that health care needs to be moved to the national level, because trying to maintain it at the provincial level clearly isn't working.

A community for Canadian physicians and medical professionals
🍁 While this community is intended for Canadian discussions, you are free to post about other medical systems. We're all in this together :)
For better links and descriptions, see the pinned post in the Medical Community Hub ([email protected])
No requests for professional advice or general medical information. Please do not solicit medical advice or share personal health anecdotes about yourself or others.
No promotions, advertisements, surveys, or petitions.
Link to high-quality, original research whenever possible: Posts which rely on or reference scientific data (e.g. an announcement about a medical breakthrough) should link to the original research in peer-reviewed medical journals or respectable news sources as judged by the moderators. Sensationalized titles, misrepresentation of results, or promotion of blatantly bad science may lead to removal.
Act professionally and decently: /r/medicine is a public forum that represents the medical community and comments should reflect this. Please keep disagreement civil and focused on issues.
Protect patient confidentiality. Please anonymize cases and remove any patient-identifiable information.
No memes or low-effort posts: Memes, image links (including social media screenshots), images of text, or other low-effort posts or comments are not allowed.
These rules have been modelled after /r/medicine. While some rules were modified or skipped as this is a much smaller community, we can revisit the rules as we go. Thank you :)
