    From the title I assumed a false alarm went off, but instead it was just the system was installed in BC.

        lol … it’s like a family group text chat I had with my siblings a few years ago when my parents were still alive … “Sorry but dad is no longer with us” … they were referring to dad having just left the room to go outside for something … the whole chat blew up with everyone asking if dad had died.

          I also wrote the article and changing the title messes up stuff like article previews and whatnot because I pay for the lowest tier of WordPress. I guess I’ll just be guilty of being clickbaity today.

    If this emits as many bogus alerts as the amber alerting system, a politician farting in Edmonton will have everyone in the real West hiding under tables.

      Which bogus alerts were those?

      I’m more than willing to get a text message that might help a kid be safe.
