It seems to me that they always upgrade for surveillance reasons when these outages happen.
Call me cynical.

A few months ago we were called in for a major outage at a large ISP. I thought it was interesting they were calling for cybersecurity assistance for an ISP. The ISP was infiltrated months prior without detecting the threat, and they slowly established a presence across their network including on customer endpoints. The outage was a calculated move to allow the bad actor time to get out undetected.
Most governments have taps available to them inside ISPs. The ISPs are not required to divulge this information. In the event of an executed warrant, they are not obligated to tell you if you’re the subject of a tap. I’d imagine in Canada, freedom is even easier to subjugate.

upgrade for surveillance...
They probably put a huge data vacuum on line.
2022 will be known as the year Canada fully embraced the chinese model of social control.

I work in IT backup, and I am NOT surprised at the explanation. Maintenance, upgrades, emergency tests, thats when things go awry. Frankly, computer systems would work much more reliably if people would just STOP USING THEM. There is a motto for people like us: "IT, we fix more things than we break."
