Only Newsweek rank TGH and sunnybrook .
TGH has 2 MRI machine and one PET scan. Look elsewhere except Newsweek .
OECD health care studies only collect data from 11 countries but it is true that we score generally 1 or 2 higher then the US in those studies.
The commonwealth fund explains the OECD data in a simplified manner compared to the thousands of pages in the OECD reports.

The Legatum Institute, a London-based think tank, has also evaluated where to find the best healthcare in the world.
They placed Canada at 32ND with the US at 69TH out of 167 countries.

From your link on the methodology used to create the rankings by webometrics, basically the ranking is the hospitals web presence concerning published articles and has nothing to do with healthcare.World | Ranking Web of Hospitals
Only Newsweek rank TGH and sunnybrook .
TGH has 2 MRI machine and one PET scan. Look elsewhere except Newsweek .
"Methodology used to create the rankings. The unit for analysis is the institutional domain, so only that Hospitals with an independent web domain are considered."
"With these rankings we intend to provide extra motivation to researchers worldwide for publishing more and better scientific content on the Web, making it available to colleagues and people wherever they are located."
Elsewhere than Newsweek.
Based on a survey of 30 medical professionals across 30 countries, publicly available hospital quality data and results from patient surveys, Toronto General Hospital placed third in the world in 2024, up from fifth in 2023.

I believe that since Statistica and Newsweek released their rankings others quit doing their rankings, that is just my thought anyways.
Are you now ranking Cancer Treatment Centers or are we going to stay with hospitals.
Sure, you can go ahead and disagree with data collected worldwide.
By the way, since we are talking the best in the world, did you know the Ford F150 has been the number1 best selling truck in the world for 47 consecutive years?
Do you deny Canadians are getting hammered by inflation?
every good you buy spends time on a truck, rail car and / or plane
food production is also very energy intensive
you talk about supply chain issues like you are in the know, except you ignore how energy intensive supply chains are
the caron tax intentionally drives energy inflation
energy inflation drives goods inflation, (particularly food inflation)
goods inflation (particularly food and rent / shelter inflation) fuels wage inflation.
do you understand the concept of compounding ?
Wage inflation is very difficult to tamp down without running the risk of creating a recession and a lot of job losses
This foolish govt policy works in opposition to the Bank of Canadas efforts to maintain price stability.
That is stupid and irresponsible
so yes the carbon tax is extremely inflationary & the moron Justin Trudeau has compounded this disaster by growing immigration, without consideration for where all the new citizens are to be housed.
i.e. rent / shelter inflation... gee another multiplier
and then there is the adittional hidden tax on energy -

you are delusional if you think the true cost of the Carbon Tax is covered by rebate cheques ........for anyone
there is nothing good about this inflationary tax

out of curiosity how do they measure
Do any of them also weight cost per capita instead of just share of gdp? I just skimmed quickly and seems like they are just weighing “deliverables”.
that just it though isn’t. If you are buying X.
A sell it for major than B. Who you going to buy from?
maybe we rank middle of the pack, but have the lowest cost per capita. Or vice versa. Or any combination in between . Helps get a clear picture doesn’t it?
Well, look at that. A proper answer by John Larue.
Now the only question is, how much is this impact to inflation. This report seems to indicate that 0.15 percentage points increase to inflation due to the carbon tax, which would make it a factor, but not the main driver of inflation. So seems a bit blown out of proportion.
Canada’s top banker dragged into carbon tax carveout debate
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau faced a second day of criticism over the carbon tax carveout but resolved there will be no similar breaks for other provinces.
Hadrian Mertins-Kirkwood, a senior researcher at the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives, described Scheer’s framing of Macklem’s comments as “misleading” because Scheer’s math suggests the carbon price increased inflation by 0.6 percentage points this year alone, however Macklem said the average year-over-year increase is 0.15.
Macklem made that point clear to the House committee as well. The 0.6 percentage point decrease would only last one year “and because you can only eliminate it once, the next year it would have no effect on inflation,” Macklem told the committee. On an annual basis, the carbon price adds about 0.15 percentage points to inflation, 0.6 is the estimated impact over the carbon price’s lifetime, he added.
A 0.6 percentage point decrease in inflation for one year doesn't structurally solve the inflation problem, said Mertins-Kirkwood. “It wouldn't really be a meaningful contribution to dealing with inflation.”
The roughly 0.15 percentage point increase to the inflation rate is “not nothing,” Mertins-Kirkwood noted, but said it's also “not a main driver.”
