What does a three month average have to do with a one day peak on Sept 10?
There are a number of factors. They are laid out nicely in the following news story. This is one of the most relevant points: "The hospital said in a news release that seven of its eight extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) machines were being used to help unvaccinated COVID-19 patients breathe on Sept. 10, forcing hospital administrators to make the difficult decision to cancel a day’s worth of planned procedures.

That scenario did not exist in that Hamilton hospital on Sept 10.
What part of "seven of its eight extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) machines were being used to help unvaccinated COVID-19 patients breathe on Sept. 10" don't you understand?

You're zero for three here aren't you?
You can't provide a link to back up your numbers.
But that doesn't matter because you're trying to use a three month average to invalidate a one day peak.
You're denying that having critical machines tied up by covid patients means heart patients can't get surgery, because Dr. Craig Ainsworth, Director of the Cardiac Care Unit at Hamilton General Hospital, and the Hamilton Spectator - plus all the world's politicians, media, and health professionals - are lying to you.
