I don't disagree with changing the tagging of the former Humber River 
Hospital(just like we need to remember to update the tagging on 
Oaville-Trafalgar hopsital when it moves on the 13'th)

There are other active hospitals that don't have an emergency 
room, ie http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/43804629 since those are hospitals 
I think the tag is proper.
