Oh yeah, Alberta needs external help for sure. I saw in the news a week or so ago that BC already said they cannot help with ICU space, and Alberta's other neighbour (Saskatchewan) is doing no better. They might be medevac'ing patients from Alberta to Ontario. When Ontario was hurting really bad during one of the previous waves, other provinces gave us support... so I guess we have to return the favour now.
Meanwhile, over in Quebec, thousands of nurses could be suspended on Oct. 15th for refusing to get vaccinated. Not sure how their healthcare system is going to manage losing that many nurses all at once.
Fun times! The situation isn't so bad in Ontario right now... but I can only imagine what things could be like if/when it gets worse again.
