The Yukon ambulance crisis

Yukon ambulances are run by volunteers in most communities, and they’re being overworked. Attendants in Dawson City and Watson Lake have now quit, and attendants in other communities may follow.

A few days ago our Minister of Health Brad Cathers said on CBC Radio that he doesn’t really want to look at paying them, preferring that they work for free. Mark Koepke’s comments about that are worth reading [but now gone]. I hope that Minister Cathers reads them and thinks about how stupid his comment was.
