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.

    Can the Canadian government please just have an official platform for sharing this kind of information? Why are evacuation notices going on Facebook??? citizens stop getting their news from social media while they’re in a life and death situation???
