Canadian ER waits times:

Quickest Visits: Half of non-urgent patients are out in 2.6 hours (90% within 7.6 hours).

Serious Cases: Patients who are more ill are prioritized and seen faster, but their total visit time is longer — 90% wrap up within 10 hours.

The Bottleneck: The real crisis is for those needing admission to a hospital bed. Average waits hit 22 hours (3x the target), and 1 in 10 patients wait over two days just to get a bed.

I think Quebec province is the worst.
