It’s not, but it’s vastly better than the states. And the reason we’re not a shining example is entirely because we chronically underfund healthcare here. I know this from first hand experience having worked in healthcare sector for a decade.
It was honestly the most rewarding job I’ve had. I was on the IT team that supported the hospital, and we’d get to go the clinics to see how clinicians worked. Then we’d help them identify parts of their workflow that could be automated, build tools, and then see how they’d use them. It was so great to be doing something that directly translated into improving patient care. You rarely see how your work actually benefits people when you work in the private sector. There’s really not much past just getting your paycheck and paying the bills.
I’m not sure Canada has a shining example of good healthcare at the moment.

G-d love you, anyone working in that industry deserves extra appreciation and support.
