I haven't seen data for Canada, but in the US, at no time in the past two years have more than 80% of ICU beds been occupied. At no time have more than 25% of ICU beds been occupied by Covid patients. And the impact of Covid on overall inpatient hospitalization has been negligible. [1]
Are you sure Trudeau isn't gaslighting you into believing the problems with Canadian healthcare are due to the unvaccinated, and not due to a failing health care system whose problems pre-date Covid?
In Why Ontario hospitals are full to bursting, despite few COVID-19 patients the CBC reported:
> The data suggests many hospitals have returned to the overcrowding levels seen before the pandemic, when CBC News revealed hospitals filled beyond capacity nearly every single day, with patients housed in hallways, conference rooms and cafeterias not as exceptional cases, but as a matter of routine.[2]

- dahdum 5y agoIf you select each state you can see near 100% levels for Alabama, Florida, California, Idaho, Texas, etc.. You can't ship desperately ill patients around the state very easily to fill ICU beds, so smaller cities/regions absolutely hit 100%. Furthermore, as they approach 100% they start enacting "crisis standards of care" such that people who would have been admitted are not. They're put in hospital conference rooms, hallways, or regular rooms without the normal life saving equipment present.
