Canada found $1 billion for the World Cup People can't get seen in the ER.

Canada is spending over **$1 billion** to host its share of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.At the same time, emergency physicians across the country continue to warn about overcrowded emergency rooms, long wait times, and documented cases where delayed care has been linked to preventable harm.This video compares those two realities using publicly available government reports, official healthcare data, and reporting from Canadian news organizations.This isn't an argument against the World Cup.It's a question about priorities.If governments can coordinate more than a billion dollars across multiple levels of government for thirteen matches, why do Canadians continue to hear that there isn't enough money to reduce ER wait times or expand hospital capacity?Read the evidence and decide for yourself.**Sources**• Parliamentary Budget Officer – 2026 FIFA World Cup Cost Estimatehttps://www.pbo-dpb.ca/• Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI) – Emergency Department and Hospital Wait Time Datahttps://www.cihi.ca/• Alberta Government – Inquiry into the death of Prashant Sreekumarhttps://www.alberta.ca/• CBC News – Coverage of Prashant Sreekumar's death and Alberta ER wait time concernshttps://www.cbc.ca/news• CTV News – Alberta emergency physicians' letter and documented patient harm concernshttps://www.ctvnews.ca/• The Globe and Mail – Reporting on emergency room overcrowding in Canadahttps://www.theglobeandmail.com/• OECD Health Statistics – Hospital beds per 1,000 populationhttps://www.oecd.org/health/• Vancouver FIFA World Cup Host City Budget Updateshttps://vancouver.ca/• City of Toronto – FIFA World Cup 2026 Financial Reportshttps://www.toronto.ca/If you found this analysis valuable, subscribe for more evidence-based discussions on Canadian policy, government spending, healthcare, and current events.#Canada #Healthcare #WorldCup2026Buy me a coffee! - https://buymeacoffee.com/kelsisherenLet's connect!Substack: https://substack.com/@kelsisherenRumble - https://rumble.com/user/TheKelsiSherenPerspectiveInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/thekelsisherenperspective?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw%3D%3DX: https://x.com/KelsisherenSUPPORT OUR PEOPLE - - - - - - - - - - - -Ketone IQ- 30% off with code KELSI - https://ketone.com/KELSIGood Livin - 20% off with code KELSI - https://www.itsgoodlivin.com/?ref=KELSIBrass & Unity - 20% off with code UNITY - http://www.brassandunity.com
