Manitoba: not bad when you can see a doctor. Wait times are atrocious, so hopefully you don’t have something that’ll kill you in less than a couple months. Getting a family doctor is a pain between the extra long time it takes to find a family doctor and the frequency with family doctors leaving for other provinces. Rural ERs are often closed due to lack of doctors wanting to work in a rural area.

I guess it’s “free” (if you consider paying with your taxes free), but it is usually quite a bit cheaper than American healthcare.

As for the politics of it, it was like this with an NDP government, and it’s like this with a Conservative government. Both are incompetent.

It should be noted that burnout is happening in all provinces, not just those with conservative governments.

The Big Three have profit sharing. From 2022 profits, GM employees received $12,750. Ford employees get $1,000 per $1 billion in North American pretax profit. Stellantis employees got $14,760.
