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.

    Agreed, they definitely could relay urgent messages, or even put it up as their own news without falling afoul of the new law.

    I did mention in my first post that it would be an easy gesture of good faith, but I think there’s some spite there. They made their threats, the government acted anyway, and now they’re sticking to their guns.
