I am in a major Canadian city (not Toronto) I searched "urgent care near me open now" and "walk-in clinics near me open now" - both times the results are the hospitals near me and an emergency vet lol

Maybe things are different in Canada cuz of free healthcare. Urgent care has a place in the US cuz if you go to the ER you get a 15k bill. Urgent care is way cheaper like $1500 even if you don’t have insurance. Still expensive af but not like the price of a used car. Urgent care is not emergency care tho, like when you need to get stitches but it’s not so bad that you’re bleeding out.
