There were 50 witnesses, in an emergency room! That alone tells you something about the state of Alberta health care. The UCP Minister of Hospitals and Surgical Health had this to say, "“We recognize that incidents like this are unsettling. No one, patients, staff or physicians, should feel unsafe in our hospitals.”

Uhhh, no kidding! You were warned over a month ago about state of emergency and did nothing about the breakdown in our emergency care. I predict your solution will be to waste a bunch of money on metal detectors or some nonsense rather than attack the root problems of overcrowding, and underfunding.
