Certainly it does, but one can guarantee more than 30min wait time at some emergency rooms coming up as they are closing outright due to staffing issues. https://bc.ctvnews.ca/8-more-overnight-closures-on-the-way-f... It's a real problem, and not just in BC. Some have argued this is a politically manufactured issue to force more talk of private care ... regardless, people are suffering in the mean time.

Most larger places publish these numbers in real-time. But the info can be very limited. Some things can wait, other things can't, and they don't publish the bucketed numbers:

Ontario: https://www.hqontario.ca/System-Performance/Time-Spent-in-Em...

Winnipeg: https://wrha.mb.ca/wait-times/ (7-8h for an initial assessment is pretty terrible)

BC: http://www.edwaittimes.ca/WaitTimes.aspx

Alberta: https://www.albertahealthservices.ca/waittimes/waittimes.asp...
