The bulletin, sent to people within 10 kilometers of the nuclear plant, did not offer details about the incident.

The alert was sent during during a routine training exercise conducted by the Provincial Emergency Operations Centre, Ontario Power Generation said. The company said the Solicitor General of Ontario had confirmed there was no intention to notify the public in this instance. A full investigation will be conducted to determine the cause of the error, the company said.

There will be no condemnation of trudeau for this. But suppose it were Trump! There would be mass demonstrations in the streets.

Didn’t something similar happen when POTUS returned from China Summit with HI? Suspicious.

“But suppose it were Trump! There would be mass demonstrations in the streets.”

Except for if it happens in the Fraud’s alleged home state.

Since it was the Fraud’s “home” state, it wasn’t a big deal.

The second paragraph is wrong. The alert was sent, as I understand it, throughout Ontario, though it said that only those within 10km needed to keep up to speed.

I received it, and I was about 200 km away at the time.

What? You mean that the sacred, holy, green, Canadians have the nuclear power?

Trudeau is characteristic of what these “loosy goosy” clowns this generation of ‘leaders’ are. He’s the absolute poster-boy for the ‘emotions over facts’ crowd which will inherit the governments of world powers, once Trump is gone

Then there are losers like AOC, who couldn’t pass a HS civics test if her pointless life depended on it

Oi vehhhh!!! I’m glad I’ll be dead.

Same excuse the Iranians used on downing that plan. Oops, that was unintentional.

I remember that episode of The Simpsons where Homer is sitting at his work space wearing a moo moo, and using a cane to whack the control panel indiscriminately from a distance because he doesn’t want to get out of his chair.....
