New Democrat leader Jagmeet Singh called on the Trudeau Liberals to send "everything and anything possible" to support Alberta through its third wave.
"Alberta is in a really though situation. Things are getting very desperate, the ICU units in hospitals in Alberta are being overrun. Case counts are now the worst in North America. And so I want the federal government to provide support," said Singh.
"Whether it's bringing military support in place, health care workers, federal resources, we need to help out Alberta. Things are really bad there right now."
