Thanks also for this very informative source:

Some key points:

Urgent Coronary By-pass surgery done almost immediately... semi-urgent
had a wait of about 5 days... elective about 55 days... that doesn't
seem bad to me...

Waiting List Mortality for Cardiac Surgery in Ontario: 0.5 percent (I
have no idea how that compares with stats around the world - it's
cardiac surgery, i guess there'll always be people dying...)

Perhaps there are medical professionals out there who could answer:
should the people of Ontario be concerned by those numbers?
