Presumptuous, Annoying, and Disruptive.
My phone just exploded with a loud, annoying noise, followed by an announcement in an artificial voice.
That announcement had nothing to do with me or any of the several hundred thousand (millions?) of people whose day was disrupted by it.
Apparently some white 'male' (I assume that probably that means a man and not some other male creature) is somewhere near Bearspaw with a gun.
This was of zero relevance or interest to most of those assaulted via their phones.
Why some worker bee would think that the millions of the people in the 587 and maybe 403 regiosn would care is a mystery to me. Who authorizes such abuses?
At most this incident affects probably only a very few people directly and maybe 100 or two indirectly -- if we include the police.
How the 'authorities' have the temerity to invade our lives over such a trivial matter is a mystery to me and a matter of great concern.
It seems that these people have a lot of power and very little discretion on when not to use it.
At this time of day, although most people are up and about, some are in hospitals with cell phones beside them and people who work night shift are sleeping. Others are in situations where a loud noise emitting from a phone they keep muted could reveal their presence, cost them a job, or even compromise their life and safety. In a city of millions of people and the countryside surrounding, there are very many situations that are hard to imagine, yet these people have the power to disrupt lives indiscriminately.
Incidents like this are indicative of how powerful governments and unthinking 'workers' are invading our lives daily in many different ways for no good purpose just because they can, regardless of certain and unforeseen collateral harms.
Alerts like this serve a purpose when there is a general and widespread danger such as when tornadoes are roaming the countryside, killer hail is expected, or a dam bursts, but for one guy wandering around far from most of the recipients of a message, or a child has gone missing, give us a break.
These latter small issues are daily occurrences and do not require blasting a noisy message to everyone within hundreds of miles and maybe to people on vacation out of country.
A simple text message would suffice. Most people would see it and those who think they might be affected would spread the word.
I would not object to a text message. but this is IMO is using a hammer to kill a fly.
It will never be known how much harm was done by this alert, but I am certain it was considerable. Did it do any good? We'll probably never know.

OPEN LETTER: To the Prime Minister of the "New World Order"
TO: The Right Honourable Mark Carney, Prime Minister of Canada
FROM: Jennifer Elizabeth Telfer
I. The Banker in the PMO
You have famously stated on camera, "I'm a banker, not a career politician." That much is evident. Your leadership has treated Canada not as a sovereign nation of citizens, but as a balance sheet to be "optimized" for global investors. You are a technician for a vision that seeks to dismantle national independence in favor of the "variable geometry" of global power you promoted at Davos 2026.
II. The Death of the Trades & The "Build Canada" Scam
As someone who has worked in the trades for over 15 years, I see the "holes" in your Build Communities Strong Fund. You talk about "supercharging" homebuilding, but your policies are crushing the people who actually do the work:
The Productivity Trap: You demand 500,000 homes a year while your "hidden" fuel taxes and inflation make it impossible for ...
Someone finally put the truth in print in a Red Deer obituary. She was 71.
" Six years ago. Val’s health began to be compromised. She battled every day to reverse the vaccine injury after long battle in excruciating pain."
