Nuclear power plant alert: People miffed about mistaken notification

there were no “public updates nearly 45 minutes after the Pickering emergency alert went out to everyone in Ontario you need to fix this.”, “you can’t undo what’s been done but to restore trust in the system, the province owes a full explanation of how this emergency tweet was sent in error and make fixes to make sure it doesn’t happen again.”.

“And I'm learning far more about iodine pills than it ever occurred to me that I would.”, “nothing starts a cool Sunday morning like ALERT PLEASE STAND BY AND DO NOTHING, IT'S FINE, MAYBE. Also WHOOPS WE SENT THAT BY MISTAKE, GO BACK TO BED NOW.”And I'm learning far more about iodine pills than it ever occurred to me that I would.Nothing starts a cool Sunday morning like ⚠ ALERT PLEASE STAND BY AND DO NOTHING, IT'S FINE, MAYBE.

And I was asked “how would homeless people receive their iodine pills?”

Young whippersnappers should now be giving a lot more respect to Boomers, the second greatest generation, who lived through the Cold War. It was hell, so we just don't talk about it much. Wait, dagnabbit, there's some kids on my lawn, back in a minute . .

Some people had a meltdown about it.

If it had been real, mass confusion and everyone for themselves scenario. Not acceptable. fordnation JustinTrudeau we need a real emergency plan, one that the population knows front and back, public education campaigns on tv, online, in person. Get it done.

Ya i guess a loil humor is off base

People should be grateful that this wasn’t a real incident and that the alarm/alert system worked. Someday that alert may be a very real thing and may save lives. Many people around the world do not have the luxury of an alert system.

It’ll be funny until the day Canada gets its fukushima and the Great Lakes are tainted with radioactive material flowing down and poisoning the St. Lawrence river and gulf

Saw the message and I went back to sleep 😴

'Took to the internet'.......keyboard warriors UNITE!

Yeah, especially when the blast-horn sounds at 5 AM and BLARES at HIGH VOLUME, so it resonates deep into the depths of your nervous system. Such a gift to those of us with spectrums of illness, as we levitate into the air. 🤮

ever-ting kewl

is there anyone really that frustrated XD

Who freaking cares. There are so many accidental alerts that people should be used to them. It wasn't even a huge alert as it clearly said that there was no need to take any action. Move on.
