"48 heures!"

So screamed the headline on one of Montreal's French-language dailies - Le Journal de Montreal - about the wait time in emergency rooms on the island.

I don't know why we act so shocked. It's like when we get a snow storm and everyone acts surprised as if we live in Florida or something.

Canada's national health care system is aging, decrepit and inefficient.

Only a die hard nationalist who records the self-absorbed  'Only in Canada' segments on the CBC would think otherwise.

Alas, here, we evaluate and judge our services by the access to it. Not the quality. There are no standards per say. If there are, I'm not seeing it. We're not driven by excellence, we're occupied with access to all.

Fine. It's a choice we made. Just don't tell me we have exceptional services. We have acceptable services but nothing more.
