The "WOW" was my response, too. Although I'm not Canadian, the idea of an EMT-B making that much money is encouraging and discouraging all at the same time. I feel that with pay that high there has to be a serious catch: like it sucks to live there.
I'm wondering what other departments people can think of. Texas seems to have a pretty well thought of system as I look at other threads. I don't know what a city like San Antonio would be like to live in.
