@CTVNews Canada has done more than its share. Time for other countries to step up and take action. This Canadian is done with shovelling Canadian cash to every country but our own.
Today, we honor and remember four Ornge employees who lost their lives on May 31, 2013.
Don Filliter, Captain
Jacques Dupuy, First Officer
Dustin Dagenais, Flight Paramedic

Our Operations Control Centre is experiencing a temporary disruption to communication services. If you are attempting to reach our OCC about a patient transport, please continue your attempts while we work to restore services. Alternatively, please contact your local CACC.
@StoichioGuy Nobody cares. Minimum level of training. Just ticking the boxes. Closing the Ontario Fire College has made everything much better. The Minister said so and the OAFC never objected.

There is a scheduled test of the Alert Ready system on Thursday, May 7, 2026, and it will take place at 1:55 PM ET in Ontario.
This test was originally scheduled for Wednesday at 12:55 PM, but has since been rescheduled to Thursday at 1:55 PM.
A test alert will be sent out to most smartphones, TV and radio stations across the province at that time.
IMPORTANT: The usual emergency alert tone will accompany the test alert. If you donโt want to be disrupted, be sure to turn off your phone before 1:55 PM. Keep in mind that the tone may still sound once your phone is turned back on.
Individuals in vulnerable situations, including those experiencing domestic abuse who may rely on hidden phones, could be unexpectedly exposed by the loud alert tone. If you or someone you know could be affected, be sure to plan ahead to keep devices powered off during that time.
Our system is operated independently from Alert Ready, so you wonโt receive a test alert from our app or text message service.

@CTVNews If the OPP has taken on the rescue function, the management of the other services should not be duplicating it. The 9-1-1 call taker can simply speed dial it to the appropriate OPP Communications Centre. This happens every spring and needlessly costs municipalities.
Police are looking for help to identify three suspects wanted in connection with several weekend break-ins and thefts at businesses in Minto and Guelph/Eramosa. https://t.co/9w3Emuptaf
