"Leaving 911 Response Area"

We're in Canada's Yukon Territory. The EMS forces of White Horse and Dawson City, which are entirely volunteer, have gone on strike. The feel they are overworked and underpaid. Can a volunteer be underpaid? So, the residents of the Green Subaru are not able to live recklessly, as we rely chiefly on government assistance to save us from ourselves.
In other Canadia news, an elephant or two were at large in Newmarket recently, escaped from a circus or some other elephant function. A resident called in the sighting to 911 (apparently still up and running in the eastern portion of the country), and the dispatchers chief inquiry was "How big of an elephant?" The callers response: "I don't know... an elephant." If you haven't laughed today, please listen to the dispatch recording: Canadian Elephant 911 Call
