Hey, I am just 1 hour north of Toronto, but can concur with Canada's broken health care system.
We just waited 6 months to find a family doctor. We then found that the earliest appointment we can make for intake is in February!!!!
So, not only do I have no psychiatrist, I have no family doctor at the moment. The best I can do is go to walk in clinics.
On top of this (as mentioned in previous rants) people like me who have no insurance, have to pay for meds out of pocket (which severely limits options).
Walk-in clinics and the ER are no way to treat mental health problems.
Oh well. Doug Ford will fix it all up (not).
