Amber Alert: baby abducted
Like many readers of this blog I was jolted from my postprandial torpor by an Amber Alert going off on my phone around 13:30. A one‑year‑old has been abducted in Lachine by a teenager. TVA specifies that the abductor is the child’s mother.
Update: The alert was over early Wednesday. The kid has been found and her mother arrested… and is now charged with abduction.

I have to say that the Amber alert provided some interesting comedy for us. We were on a flight…. and as people turned off “flight mode” the whole airplane began to buzz with alert after alert

Am I the only one who got that alert four times that afternoon?

@Mark – 3 Times. But one was a “Presidential Alert” and may have come in because I have a travel esim installed on my phone

Only saw it once – at home in Montreal, phone on Fido.

Strange. I got it once in the afternoon and then once near 11pm as we were going to bed! Bell mobile.

I got it once, but half the office got it at one time, then the other half 15 seconds later.

I caught the end of it as I turned on the radio.
