Pretty sure Calgary, Edmonton, Fredericton, and all many more major cities in Canada have decent access to healthcare from rural areas with a car. Trying to live in Toronto has been a losing battle for a long time. The wait for health care even with appointments has been a losing battle in Toronto for quite some time.

I live in NB and access to healthcare in New Brunswick (Fredericton included) is not better than in Toronto, far from it. In rural areas it's even worse, and we're constantly seeing hospital shutdowns due to lack of staffing. We (and NS as well) have had a massive influx of people from Ontario since the start of covid and the explosion of real estate pricing, but we don't have the infrastructure to support it.

"decent access to healthcare from rural areas with a car." It's the car part... She's wheelchair bound and probably can't afford a car let alone one she could drive.
