A perfect storm: Sask. nurses rally for action on staffing shortages, hospital overcrowding |

Hundreds of Saskatchewan nurses and their supporters rallied outside the legislative building on Thursday calling for action to ongoing staffing shortages and hospital overcrowding around the province. According to a September survey referenced by the Saskatchewan Union of Nurses (SUN), 86 per cent of registered nurses are reporting patient risk due to staff shortages. The survey also found that 60 per cent of registered nurses have considered leaving the profession in the last 12 months. “It’s a perfect storm for a catastrophe in the making,” SUN president Tracy Zambory said in a news release. “I hear from SUN members lamenting their career choice almost daily, describing their severe moral distress from being unable to provide the safe care patients need or saying they’ve never wanted to leave the profession more.” According to Zambory, Saskatchewan is short about 700 full-time registered nurses. The union has called for greater frontline engagement aimed at nurse retention and recruitment for the past two years. Zambory said it’s not uncommon to see beds lining hospital hallways and critical care happening in waiting room chairs due to ongoing overcapacity issues. According to Zambory, emergency rooms are routinely 200 per cent over capacity. SUN data also indicated that the emergency room at Saskatoons Royal University Hospital reached 350 per cent capacity on Tuesday night. “It’s not only big city emergencies; patients are suffering everywhere – postponed surgeries, excessive and stressful waits for lifesaving diagnostics and treatments, and widespread rural service disruptions,” she said in the release. SUN represents 11,000 Registered Nurses, Registered Psychiatric Nurses, and Nurse Practitioners in the province. Speaking at a campaign announcement in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan Party leader Scott Moe said hospital overcrowding is a challenge, and he is committed to working with healthcare professionals to improve the system, if re-elected. We will commit to ensuring that happens into the future, Moe said. And we are starting to have results, but theres more work to do. NDP candidate Vicki Mowat says Moe cant be trusted to fix the health care system and promised that an NDP government would open the Saskatoon hospital 24 hours a day and hire more workers. Moe says more staff are being hired thanks to a program the Sask. Party launched in 2022 .

Saskatchewans largest hospital hits crisis point as overstuffed ER runs out of stretchers and oxygen |

Staff at Saskatoons Royal University Hospital (RUH) are calling for systemic changes just two days after its emergency room was more than three times above its capacity. Its worse than it ever has been, NDP Saskatoon Fairview candidate Vicki Mowat said outside of the hospital Thursday morning. We dont have time to wait for help. When you have admitted patients in a hospital that dont even have a chair to sit in, things are at a breaking point. According to data from the Saskatchewan Union of Nurses (SUN), the RUH emergency room was at 350 per cent capacity overnight Tuesday — with 121 patients for 35 beds. The union says there were 50 patients admitted with no beds, 25 people being treated in hallway beds and 10 ambulances were delayed in the paramedic bay treating patients because there was nowhere for them to go. Mowat said the hospital ran out of stretchers and oxygen as other nearby healthcare facilities werent accepting patients any longer. Patients outnumbered RUH nursing staff 14 to one. Saskatoon deserves better. Our families deserve better. Our health care workers deserve better, Mowat said. Hundreds of healthcare workers and union representatives rallied outside of the legislature in Regina Thursday to call for help amid the healthcare crisis and staffing shortages. How do you safely care for patients in a busy emergency room when you are routinely 200 per cent overcapacity, beds line hallways, and critical care happens out in the open in waiting room chairs, all while you are working seven registered nurses short,” SUN president Tracy Zambory said in a news release. Speaking at a campaign announcement in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan Party leader Scott Moe said hospital overcrowding is a challenge, and he is committed to working with healthcare professionals to improve the system, if re-elected. We will commit to ensuring that happens into the future, Moe said. And we are starting to have results, but theres more work to do. After years of nurses and other health professionals asking for more input and calling for a nursing task force, the province agreed to create one days before the election period began. Moe spoke about the health human resource action plan his government announced two years ago, and how its seeing benefits, but theres more work to be done. Admittedly, there is much more work to do here, and the health human resource plan has not certainly found its way to the end of this work., he said. This is a government that has been fully committed to not only working with frontline staff and our organizations across the health care sector on new and innovative ways to offer health care. But then putting the funding behind those discussions. Mowat says this government has rarely taken the opportunity to sit down and listen to concerns from healthcare workers, and the action plan isnt cutting it. The plan isnt working, and it makes sense because they didnt consult healthcare workers in creating that plan, Mowat said. Theyve had 17 years in government to fix health care, and they havent done it. Mowat said if elected, the NDP would open Saskatoons City Hospital emergency room 24 hours a day to help alleviate capacity issues at RUH. She says her party would also work together with post-secondary institutions, unions and staff in multiple sectors of healthcare to give them a voice in decisions and help create a culture where workers are retained. In a survey of its own membership last month, the nurses’ union says 86 per cent of registered nurses are reporting patient risk due to short staffing and 60 per cent have considered leaving the profession in the last 12 months. Moe said the Sask. Party isnt ruling out systemic changes, either. Looking at delivering health care a little bit different is something that were most certainly open to, Moe said.

A Regina woman has pleaded guilty to one count of fraud after being charged with defrauding Regina Mobile Crisis Services. In January of 2022, Arlene Marie Irving was charged with theft over $5,000 and fraud over $5,000. An investigation by the Regina Police Service (RPS) began in July 2021 when they were contacted by the non-for-profit organization. In March of 2021, the organization was in a transition to a new financial management system when they noticed “financial irregularities.” Evidence gathered from the investigation led to Irving being charged. She was 61 at the time and living in British Columbia. In January 2022, Mobile Crisis Services said that one of its employees had been fired as a result of a financial investigation but never provided the former employee’s name. Irving will be sentenced on Nov. 28.

184 passengers and crew evacuated as Ryanair Boeing plane catches fire on runway in Italy |

More than 180 people were evacuated Thursday from a Ryanair Boeing passenger jet after it caught fire while taxiing to take off at Brindisi Airport in southern Italy. The incident comes two days after a tire blowout on another of the airline’s Boeing planes during landing led to the temporary closure of Milan Bergamo Airport. A spokesperson for the airport in Brindisi confirmed there had been a fire that halted air traffic for several hours. Ryanair, the Irish budget airline group that operates Europe’s largest aircraft fleet, said all 184 passengers and crew were safely evacuated on the runway after Thursday’s incident. The plane had been bound for the northern Italian city of Turin. “Flight FR8826 from Brindisi to Turin (3rd Oct) was delayed this morning after cabin crew observed fumes on the outside of the aircraft. Passengers were disembarked without incident and returned to the terminal by bus,” the airline said in a statement to CNN. It said that the aircraft was later replaced, and passengers were flown on to their destination. The airport reopened around three hours later, according to the airport’s website. On Tuesday, another Ryanair aircraft – flight FR846 – headed into Milan Bergamo airport from Barcelona had a tire issue upon landing, which briefly closed the destination airport. “Passengers disembarked normally, and the aircraft was inspected by engineers, who are currently servicing the aircraft so that it can return to service,” Ryanair said in a statement to CNN. List of incidentsThis week’s events prompted several Italian lawmakers to call for an inquiry into Ryanair’s safety record, citing a number of earlier incidents. Andrea Caroppo and Mauro D’Attis, deputies in Italy’s lower chamber of Parliament and part of the Forza Italia party that is a member of Italy’s ruling coalition, called for a senate hearing with the country’s National Civil Aviation Authority, ENAC. “This morning, at Brindisi airport, a new accident occurred, yet another, on a Ryanair plane,” said Caroppo (who is vice president of the Transport Commission of Italy’s lower house of parliament), D’Attis and two other party members in a statement. “We have therefore asked for an urgent hearing in the Transport Commission at the Chamber of ENAC leaders, with a focus on the safety of Ryanair flights, which - it is worth remembering - is the leading carrier in Italy for passenger traffic,” the statement said. The statement listed other incidents, including one in May when a flight from the Italian port of Bari to London had to turn around because of technical problems, and another flight in May departing from the northern city of Bologna to Brussels that had to make an emergency landing in Luxembourg because of a fire onboard. “And these are just some of the many, too many accidents that have involved Ryanair in recent months, in Italy and Europe,” the statement adds. Ryanair did not respond to a CNN request for comment on the lawmakers’ statement. Boeing, the manufacturer of both aircraft involved in this week’s incidents, referred CNN to Ryanair. A spokesperson for ENAC said it was investigating the two incidents this week separately.

Toronto police officer rushed to hospital after being shot |

Warning: this story contains graphic content and details Toronto police are searching for a suspect who they say shot and injured an officer in midtown Wednesday afternoon. The incident occurred near Yonge Street and Eglinton Avenue around 5:30 p.m. as several officers were conducting a robbery investigation. Police said the officers stopped a vehicle, and shortly after, one officer was shot. A video obtained by CTV News Toronto appears to show the injured officer sitting in a van stopped in the back of a building and being tended to by his fellow officers. Shortly, paramedics arrive, and the officer is loaded into an ambulance. He was rushed to Sunnybrook Hospital. Speaking to reporters at the hospital, Toronto police chief Myron Demkiw said the officer was shot in the abdomen, and his injuries are not life-threatening. Hes here in the hospital surrounded by colleagues and family, being supported during what is obviously a difficult and challenging time, Demkiw said. Im relieved to say that hes doing well. Meanwhile, in another video shared with CP24, one person with their hands behind their back is seen being escorted to the back of a police cruiser. Police said one person was arrested at the scene. There is no immediate word on charges. A second suspect remains at large, and police have not yet released a description. We are looking for a second suspect that we believe to be the shooter, Demkiw said. The chief could not provide more details about what exactly transpired as the Special Investigations Unit (SIU) has invoked its mandate. Police said an officer discharged a firearm during the incident. The SIU is called in to investigate whenever police are involved in a death, serious injury, allegations of sexual assault, or the discharge of a firearm. Demkiw noted that Wednesdays incident was the 637th time an officer was injured in the city this year. I think this is another example of the dangers our officers face, the chief said. I think it speaks volumes about the dedication of the Toronto police officers who serve our city every single day and go into harms way to do everything they can to keep our city safe. This is unprecedented as far as whats going on in the city, and we need it to stop, said Toronto Police Association president Jon Reid, who was speaking alongside Demkiw. Reid said the officer is a 29-year-old man who has been with Toronto police for over five years. This city really needs to start paying attention to whats going on here. Every day were having shootings, murders. Its becoming all too common. And now to see this increase now where officers are being shot, he said. Speaking to CP24 at an unrelated event, Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow also responded to the shooting, saying the chief briefed her about the incident. My heart goes out to this officer thats been shot. I hope for a speedy recovery, Chow said. Every police officer puts their lives at risk every moment and every day they work. And they absolutely deserve to go home safe and sound. The mayor added that she is working with all levels of government and stakeholders to address gun violence in the city. We as a society cannot see it as normal. We cannot be numb to it. We have to say this is not acceptable. We have to work hard to stop that gun violence, she said. Coun. Josh Matlow, who represents the midtown neighbourhood, condemned the horrible incident. Its obviously shocking to this community that something like this could happen here, Matlow said. When an officer gets shot, it affects the entire police family. It affects the entire city, and I just want to express both my and on behalf of our community, in particular, our hope that the officer recovers speedily and successfully. The councillor echoed the mayor’s sentiment, saying that the root cause of these shootings must be addressed to ensure the residents of the city are safe.
