The Toronto Emergency Medical Services is changing its name to Toronto Paramedic Services, according to a City of Toronto news release. If the paramedic service uses the initials TPS, the new name should cause a fair amount of confusion with the Toronto Police Service, It may be something officials wish to review. Later the same day, as they say, NOW jumped on this story and has some reaction from Josh Matlow (Ward 22). He thinks it’s a little nutty too. Other councillors were saying it would have been nice if the City-owned EMS had passed these changes by — ahem — City Council. We’re guessing the TTC wouldn’t be changing its name to Toronto Passenger Service without asking for permission. Release
