It depends on your Device/carrier/LTE connection at the time. Some devices will not trigger the alert if you're on wifi as it'll shut off your LTE connection. Your device won't get the Alert trigger until connect back to LTE.

Is there anyways to pull up these emergency messages? Seems like it's gone once you click ok and there's no way to look at them again

My iPhone is always on DND from 11pm-7am. Did not get the klaxxon sound, but it did vibrate. Even the 3pm alert was silent for me for some reason. *shrugs*

I got the alert just before crossing into the US, then after I crossed back into Canada, got two or three more. Nothing while I was down there, probably because I was on T-Mobile. Got text messages, though. Really annoying, especially when you're listening to a quiet passage in an orchestral recording. Of course, have to listen to classical music with the volume cranked up, lol.

Why would someone in Nanaimo (manic) get an alert that just took place in Langley? Amber alert I can understand. Anyway, it won't be long before nobody pays attention to these alerts.

On current Android/iphones, under Settings/Notifications/wireless emergency alerts you should have a history there.

Older phones may have the alert settings in the sms settings.

Depends how the geofence region was set up for the alert.
Plus even in Nanaimo, you can ping off of Vancouver/Sunshine coast sites. Weak connections, but enough for the message to broadcast.

Is this "mass shooting"?
Langley’s mayors react with shock, sorrow to mass shooting


drug/gang related two people shot by gun man, why is she shedding tears like school shooting happened?
Am I being too insensitive?

Huh? Gang related? Did I miss something? Wasn't this guy just going around shooting homeless people at random?

Nowhere has there been any reports of this being gang related. You’re probably just blending information about the whistler shooting with this one.

This is one of the killers. Looks like someone who would be on honor roll and plays the violin.

Worth it to feel cool for 2 years

It’s kinda funny that hood rats are so detached from reality that they have no idea what actual wealth or even being like “middle class” looks like lol it’s always been that way

I grew up in Newton in the 90’s and have seen way too many good people make shitty decisions to try and be “cool” or impress others. Both male and female. The sad part is, the girls get hurt the worst by douchebag losers and probably carry their experiences for the rest of their lives.

Peer pressure is a hell of a drug.

^The people in power will manipulate young, impressionable kids to do their dirty work and dangle the carrot of climbing the ranks to avoid jail time.

Be smart kids.

Genuine question, are prisons here in Canada also susceptible to that kinda stuff?

I assume there is more accountability since they aren’t for profit private entities like the states, but you get a bunch of societies worst people in the same room together I can’t imagine the outcome would vary all that much.

My Aunt has worked in Prisons since the 80's, I asked about this before and Canadian prisons aren't like anything you see in the movies.

Even one of my friends brothers got arrested in California on drug charges and spent two and a half years in jail down there, he wasn't getting raped and he was a pretty white boy lol.

Edit: Actually I'm thinking back to when I was a teenager (early 90s) visiting my dad's friend who was in there for life in a maximum security prison, my dad made me and my sister go with him and my mom every month. I remember one visit for some holiday I don't remember if it was Christmas or what but we're in this dining hall with all kind of murders and violent criminals and we're eating steak and provided with metal steak knives as are all the inmates. Even as a kid I thought this is kind of fucked up.

The butt rape in prisons is vastly overrated, that's all movie crap.

Getting physically assaulted, or having a solution of piping hot melted butter/sugar mix thrown in your face is more the kind of stuff you'd have to worry about (if you're in a gang, or in that life).

Canadian prisons sound luxurious, compared to say, Equador? Where it's likely to get your head chopped off in your sleep
