Daniel Fewster says Canada’s health system failed his mother by forcing her to wait on a list while she needed urgent heart surgery to save her life.
His comments follow a report by think tank SecondStreet.org that found more than 15,000 Canadians died between 2023 and 2024 while waiting for surgery or diagnostic scans. Since 2018, the organization says more than 75,000 people have died while on a waitlist.
