It's the same way here in the NWT the people don' care about EMS they don't know we exist until they need us. The people don't complain about how underfunded their EMS dept is they complain about how crappy the roads are. How crappy the sidewalks are. They complain about sewers. They even complain about parks and playgrounds. They complain about loose dogs. They have never complained about EMS except when they get their ambulance bill. Fort Smith has one of the lowest rates for ambulance services in the Northwest Territories it's only 160.00 .

Last time I looked they did have badges on their uniform forage caps. As well each member is issued an ID shield that has the word police in the top banner in the middle a smaller version of the hat badge used by the RCMP and the lower banner has RCMP GRC with a number at the bottom of the shield. The last time I looked the OPP doesn't have any shields on their uniform shirt they have an ID shield as well. The Toronto Police Service only has a hat badge that their members use off duty. Now for the US police forces that don't use shields on their shirts New York State Police, New Jersey State Police, anfd the Missouri State Highway Patrol.

The last time I looked Quebec is a a province. RCMP has C division in quebec. one of the CF regular force infantry regts is in quebec.

I'm not sure but I think I read somewhere that Nova Scotia Health might recognize your training and grant you a licence. If you do get licenced in Nova Scotia then you would be a Primary Care Paramedic. Check with the Government of Nova Scotia web site. I think you can but check to make sure. http://www.gov.ns.ca/

Here in the NWT we would have ALS for ground ambulance if we had EMTPs we only have EMTs and EMRs. The only ALS is medic north they are the air medivac providers for the NWT. The only paid EMS are in 2 municipalities one is run by a private contractor in Inuvik and the other is the Yellowknife City Fire Department and both of those are just EMTs.

Yikes if this happened during the time I was in high school students getting arrested for farting then I'd be classified as a dangerous offender. Truthfully I don't know which is funnier the kid farting in clss or that he was actually arrested for it. Now that is ridiculous.

I agree EMR's should have to complete field and hospital practicums to get licensed. Isn't most EMR text just EMT- Basic texts. b Since our EMRs use EMT-Basic texts shouldn't they go on field an hospital practicums like our neighbours to the south.

Also All EMT programs in Alberta are accredited by the Canadian Medical Association as Primary Care Paramedic programs.

In Alberta PCPs are called EMTs. You would have to check with the Alberta College of Paramedics to see if your program is an ACoP authorized program.

My service issues us with a jumpsuit.

That was a young bear. It wasn't as big as some of the black bears that I've seen. Here in the NWT if a bear enter an area where people are then the local renewable resources officer kills the bear by shooting it. The officer also has the option not to destroy the bear only if people are not in the area then they will try to capture it. The officer has to err to the side of public safety if there are people in the area then they destroy the bear as not to endanger the bystanders. Here in town the department of environment and natural resources sets up live bear traps and if they catch a bear then they move the bear to location far from town and releases them. I've seen plenty of bears destroyed I've never seen any tranquilized.

Wasn't the first Roy then Johnny

This is what happens when fire controls ems.

My agency uses Motorola

That's the EMR course I thought EMT was around 6 months to complete.
