In truth though , please tell me about the health care. I have a friend in Toronto who says that he sometimes has to wait weeks in order to see a doctor for non-emergency care. True or no?

If it's non-emergency care, then what's the rush?
Seriously though, if there were no wait times, that would be an indication of gross mis-management of resources.
Think of it like an airline... having empty seats means poor capital utilization. The occasional overbooking, while inconveniencing some, is generally a good sign from a shareholder's point of view - and every tax-paying Canadian citizen is a shareholder in this business.
To take the analogy a bit further, I'd even argue that part of the "problems" with Canada's healthcare system stems from the high labor costs. But overall there's not much wrong with the concept of public healthcare.
