minus-squarepixxelkick@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up5·8 months agoOdd, I’m in Edmonton and never got the emergency broadcast all day and night yesterday. Never heard anything about brown outs, maybe my specific area didn’t get included in the rollouts? Alberta still primarily uses gas for heating so unlike our southern friends, brown outs impact us a lot less.
