What a bunch of nonsense. Do you have any proof of that? I'm in Canada right now and as far as I know, "lockdowns" are not the norm. Ontario yes, much of Canada, no.

Ontario and Quebec account for like 2/3 of the population... Both are locked down.

As for my assertions of Canadian healthcare capacity, OECD keeps stats, we're basically at the bottom.

I guess we can argue what constitutes a lockdown but somehow I think that involves not being allowed to go out which this is not.

Business closures are the most damaging aspect.

The current level of 'restrictions' if you don't like the word lockdown are harsher than any EU country (except Netherlands) and the US currently.

The strain on Canada's healthcare system is frankly, embarassing. Hell, our healthcare system was embarassing before the pandemic.
