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.

Because not everyone has a cell, leaves their phone on while they’re sleeping, has good reliable service, etc etc.
How does having news on Meta changes access to information in this case? Heck, it would only mean that these people can get alerts through radio or TV.
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…
