British Columbia

Over here in Ontario province wide amber alerts are sent out a few times a year. Usually in the middle of the night.

I ended up needing to mute the sound on the alerts because there was never anything I could do at 2am, and that way I could still see the alert in the morning.

But now I also don't get the tornado alerts...

It's perfectly valid for people to be frustrated with a good idea that was poorly implemented. The alert system in phones support the ability to have different levels of alerts. But the mobile carriers in Canada didn't want to support that, so instead every alert is sent out at the highest level.
