I’m not Canadian but I had a crown fall off on a Friday night, after midnight of a 3 day weekend. There was a dentist that had an emergency number as well as an office number in the phone book (this was back in the ‘90s) and I called it. The dentist answered the phone which surprised me but he said that he had his answering service direct it to his house but it wasn’t his home phone. He fixed my tooth the next day and remained as my dentist for a long time.
At least the thought occurred to Michael. He just rejected the idea.
