between Alberta’s two main political parties, which are desperate to gain votes, especially in Calgary, a key battleground.
Persistent problems include errors or delays in verifying the address of an emergency, delays in dispatching ambulances, critical safety alerts not being issued for EMS crew safety, and deviations in protocols to triage patients, the mayors’ statement said.

Significant reductions to front-line staffing and longer wait times for ambulances, emergency rooms and surgeries continue to affect patient services.
On Tuesday, Ms. Notley reiterated plans for family-health teams and said the NDP will expand the hours of medical clinics as part of an overall plan to improve health services.
