      YES … and that is insane … I’m all for helping kids and keeping them safe but if you’re going to spend thousands of dollars to tell everyone in the province at 4am that a single child MAY have been lost in the city, it might be a better use of public dollars to instead fund support programs and services for families and children instead.

      The whole public broadcast system was supposed to be about alerting the public about a major catastrophe, the apocalypse, an asteroid has wiped out Toronto, the Russians have launched a full scale invasion, America is finally going ahead with annexing Canada, etc … instead it’s turned into a public propaganda campaign service to casually keep people on edge and superficially make people think that the government is actually doing something.
