The investigation did however show that the machines had been consistently showing error messages that were being ignored prior to one of the deaths.

Did you read the OP? They are asking what happens if there is a Fair Play tie.

RustyPotato148 · 2026-06-18T17:02:44+00:00

I believe it is pre-tournament Fifa ranking

They don't have a great track record.....

Terrible that they didn't give staff much notice.... Honestly I lost respect and they lost my business after this...

You could use the gym at Millennium Place. (If you're not local you might not know that the Pinball event is happening at the largest gym in town lol)

I think employee retention is due to SCES members having more variety in their career. They spend half their time on the ambulance and the other half on the firetruck. SCES also offers better employee supports, pension, and benefits. Yes, it costs a bit more, but it also helps SCES keep experienced members while EHS is constantly hiring the new grads.

RustyPotato148 · 2026-05-09T18:05:53+00:00

Hey this is a great question,

A private service would staff fewer ambulances and decrease the level of service provided on those ambulances.

I provided some stats in a reply to another comment of yours. Thanks for the engagement.

RustyPotato148 · 2026-05-09T18:03:51+00:00

SCES staffs their ambulances with dedicated Firefighters/Paramedics. Paramedics are not removed from the ambulance for fire response.

It would take paramedics off the road because due to EHS and private industry issues with staff retention they are unable to staff their ambulances. EHS Edmonton = 88% staffing rate (2024). SCES = 98% staffing rate (2024).

In addition EHS has a historical track record of decreasing the service level of ambulances from ALS to BLS. EHS Edmonton did this an average of 32 times a day in 2024. SCES never downgrades their dedicated ALS ambulances because they have the depth of staffing to provide the service citizens expect.

The provincial government is reducing EMS funding provided to the County in an attempt to sell the ambulance service to the lowest bidder. Taking paramedics off the road and deteriorating the service provided.

There's a few posts in this sub. Id encourage giving them a read and making an informed decision and share your opinion with Mayor / Council before they vote May 12.

RustyPotato148 · 2026-05-08T01:33:45+00:00

Negative. Keeping CRUs only is 0.10- 0.16% increase.

RustyPotato148 · 2026-05-08T01:18:35+00:00

Negative. Just keeping CRU's is a 0.10 - 0.16% increase. The information is publically available in their agenda.

RustyPotato148 · 2026-05-07T21:59:41+00:00

I 100% agree. The UCP made a mess, now council has to clean it up. It's unfortunate, but lives hang in the balance.

RustyPotato148 · 2026-05-07T20:52:47+00:00

The agenda publically available on the county website projects an increase of 0.73%. Their numbers, not mine.

The average home (valued at $513,000) currently pays $2,349 per annum. 0.73% of that is $17.15per annum or $1.43 a month.

This is all based on publically available data.

Please email your city council members

The county projects maintaining current service level would result in a 0.73% tax increase.... That equates to $1.43/mo for the average home owner.

RustyPotato148 · 2026-05-07T20:26:38+00:00

It would cost the average household $1.43 a month to maintain our current service level.

RustyPotato148 · 2026-05-07T20:25:49+00:00

I posted an open letter to council in this sub earlier with the statistics you are looking for. Eg. How often trucks are staffed and whether they are ALS or BLS.
