The NWT government and city of Yellowknife are describing in tweets, Instagram messages etc. how to search key evacuation information on CPAC and CBC. The broadcast carriers have a duty to carry emergency information, but Meta and X are blocking links.

While internet access is reportedly limited in Yellowknife, residents are finding this a barrier to getting current and accurate information. Even links to CBC radio are blocked.

      CBC/Radio-Canada radio automatically gets interrupted to broadcast amber alerts/meteorological alerts, are you saying it’s not the case in NWT? If so there’s no good reason it isn’t.

      Heck, on a two hours trip my radio got cut three or four times because of tornado risks around Ottawa the other day…
