I share the sentiment of busymom0 and can relate how bad the healthcare is here in Quebec.

The hospitals have been overloaded and badly managed for a long time, way before the pandemic.

Most hospitals here have been operating above 100% capacity for many years. Waiting time to see a doctor have been reported to take in average 15 hours and up to 20 hours (pre-covid data in 2019) [1]. God forbid if you need to be hospitalized, as it can reach 24-48 hours sometimes.

Firing nurses over COVID measures before Christmas certainly didn't help, which is worth pointing out.

The politicians are trying to shift the blame of the bad healthcare systems happening under their watch to COVID.
