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.

Re; "we need the loudest voices in Canada to also help Canada out", speak for yourself. I'm tired of the loudest voices drowning out the reasonable ones. It's these same loud voices that have polarized society and tanked trust in the media as a whole.

C-18 is all about helping Canada's big media companies solidify their positions and inhibit innovative startups. Meta and Google helped level the playing field so they must be published.
