Canada – Scores of paramedics rallied outside Toronto City Hall on Tuesday demanding they be declared an essential service in the face of a potential work stoppage that would cut staffing levels by 15 per cent.

More than 100 paramedics gathered at Nathan Phillips Square Tuesday morning, chanting and waving pickets as they marched in a large circle.

Inside city hall, Toronto’s powerful executive committee was preparing to consider a motion giving paramedics the essential service designation.
