twitter.com/DanielMicay/st Currently receiving yet another Presidential alert on each of my phones with mobile connectivity initialized. Pixel phones currently on my desk: 3, 3 XL, 3a, 3a XL, 4, 4 XL, 4a, 4a (5G), 5, 5a, 6, 6 Pro and 6a. Luckily the older ones are turned off...

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. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alert_Rea

They once again sent the alert once in English and once in French because they couldn't figure out how to word it more concisely to fit them in one message. I'm in east Toronto and the alert is for en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regional_. They don't geofence properly just to flex on people.

Someone apparently killed a cop which from a police perspective is worthy of sending out an air raid siren to half of Ontario as if Putin decided to wipe it off the map. Was looking forward to eating all the ice cream bars before the nukes finished getting here but no such luck.

Most of my phones don't have a Canadian SIM currently inserted they show it properly as a Presidential alert instead of it being masked as a generic alert type. Canada sends out every single weather alert, amber alert, etc. at the same level as that false positive Hawaii alert.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pickering was the best alert they've sent out so far. They implied the nuclear power plant next to Toronto was having a meltdown. Took them 40 minutes to post it was a mistake on Twitter on an account no one follows but almost 2 hours to send an alert retracting it.

Should have an ice cream bar ready for every alert just in case one's the real deal
