Canadians in participating provinces and territories can expect a test alert on their television, radio and compatible wireless devices on Wednesday, Nov. 15.
I mean, if it was easy to opt out of then everybody would do it and that sort of defeats the purpose of having an alert system. This is designed to save lives; if I’m fast asleep and there’s a tornado about to drop on top of me I’d like it if my phone would wake me up first, even a few seconds warning gives time to react.
You would presumably not opt out then. I know many people who would not, even if it were easy. Some of us would, and a few of us feel all the more compelled to do so because it was made unreasonably difficult.
