I love that Canada's ruling class decided to sent out every amber and weather alert as presidential alerts. I have over a dozen phones on my desk letting me know that a MIRV is about to hit Toronto with air raid sirens. They can even get it without a SIM.

If the phones don't have a Canadian SIM, they see it as the real category (Presidential alert) instead of it using the generic "EMERGENCY ALERT / ALERTE D'URGENCE". By the way, French isn't even a top 10 first language in Toronto and look how much space they're wasting on that.

This is an improvement over their past approach of sending out separate alerts in English and French with the French one often coming hours later. I would not be surprised if they've killed seniors with heart attacks just to stop people from being able to turn off the alerts.

I'm no expert in Canadian french, but it seems to be changing the meaning? (Also not even top 10 ? Wow didn't expect this).

Answering for myself: it would be fair to say that among people not speaking English, french is not in the top 10. Or that among native tongs, french is not in the top 10. But yet, french seems to be the #2 language people in Toronto understand.
