In general, no, St. John Ambulance is not a real ambulance services, and are not real paramedics. However, being in the wonderful socialized Canada, government funding is never enough and they are frequently needed.
I mostly do the go-to-special-events-and-keep-an-eye-on-stupid-people kind of thing. Although I did do the paramedics course and know how to administer oxygen, stick a pipe down someone's throat, etc.
