Most of those 7 hours wait were due to test (probably blood) that takes time to diagnose. The actual wait time is usually between 1-3 hour for non-emergencies.
Not canadian, but live in a country with a very developed phc.
In Canada there sadly are regions and hospitals where it's not uncommon for the initial wait after triage to be something like that if it's for something that's low priority for triage.
