What's wrong with building hospitals in every province in Canada? Is it truly that expensive?

yes
population makes it tough to support too many hospitals....slowly as population increases things may change
It's expensive - very expensive, and time consuming as well. But that is not why we don't build hospitals in every province. The fact is that spreading out our population too thin could endanger our security.
Using public funds for something that could harm the public is unwise and in a nutshell explains why Congress tends to ignore calls for more hospitals and defense systems.
Had we the population to fill in all our territories it might be a different story, but we don't.
As Gaius said, it is terribly expencive, and time consuming and we just don't have the population to warrent it.
It's a good question but there are no easy answers to it. There's debate in many countries in the eworld as to what the best thing to do is. It's generally acknowledged that having only a few top quality hospitals makes for a more secure country but having many hospitals may help in retaining players.
Canada has sort of split the difference. We have a small population anyway so even if we were to concentrate in one territory (the "fortress strategy"😉 it wouldn't help our security a lot. On the other hand, as Gaius says there's no logic in spending public funds for hospitals everywhere. What we've done as a nation is allow private efforts to build hospitals, if it means so much to them. As a result a couple of hospitals have been placed, but their effect on the game is still debated.
Private efforts ftw!
If you want an hospital go raise one yourself! 😃
Panda is right, if you make your own Hospital, Congress will place it for you.
Look at the UK, the fortress strategy saved them when they we're down to 1 region and 600k wall. It's a alot easier to defend one single region with 18 MPP than to have to focus on multiple front.
