> More conservative provinces have worse wait times.
This feels like a pretty glaring generalization. If we look at the actual data, the story becomes a little more nuanced [1]. "Conservative" provinces have wait times that are a couple of days to a couple of weeks higher than national average (assuming we call BC, AB, SK and MB "conservative" [2]), but then again almost all of the maritimes provinces (which are considered strongly liberal-leaning) have abysmally bad wait times relative to the average (10-20 weeks worse).
Overall, the average is ~half a year anyways, which is pretty rough regardless.

- wredue 3y agoAB, SK and MB are conservative with high rates of Trump flags. And nice lies dude. They all have over double the national average! Don’t use Fraser institute for sources. They are a far right “think” tank. If they posted it, it’s a lie or misrepresentation.
