Almost certainly would have something to do with the way different provinces are testing for and counting Covid hospitalizations. We've seen this through the pandemic. There are all sorts of ways of fudging the numbers up or down. For example, at one point various provinces were counting all cases that happened to test positive for Covid, regardless of Covid's contribution to their stay, as covid cases. At other times, some provinces had stopped testing anyone but those with the most obvious of symptoms.
