    You ever notice during the pandemic there was no email, real mail, phone call or text message sent to you directly from the government about lockdown measures?

      There were Amber alerts sent out notifying the people of lockdowns. For example,

      But, yes, it is foolish that we have to rely on Bell/Rogers/Telus/Apple/Google to get the word out. Canada Post is the entity which is supposed to be responsible for disseminating such information.

        Thanks for this, i don’t remember getting these notifications but it is possible I forgot/missed them. As you mentioned it still only reaches canadians with an active cell phone plan and who have cell service and should be used alongaide other systems.
