A new poll says long wait times lead half of Canadians to avoid seeing a doctor or going to the hospital.

The poll was conducted by Léger and commissioned by right-leaning think-tanks the Montreal Economic Institute, SecondStreet.org, and the Canadian Constitution Foundation.

The percentage of respondents who say they avoid consulting doctors because of wait times is highest among women, people over 55 and Quebecers.

This is the point at which you should stop reading this obvious bullshit.

    Jean Marc Léger himself is more and more a right-wing propaganda person. He uses polls as ways to create right-wing news.

    10 to 20 years ago, it was considered unbiased, but today it has a clear bias.

    CTV is right wing from what I know, and a friend who used to work there as a journalist until last month said the same about the people running CTV.
