I can no longer tell if this is satire or official government poster.

[nismodrifter]

Wow. Snow day declared for today as well. Schools etc closed. Supposed to snow a little bit more today.

[ExtraSlow]

But did you die?

[jutes]

Climate change. BC NDP to impose stricter tax measures to curb the snow fall rates.

[suntan]

What if the snow was taking recreational drugs?

So whoever pull that alert over the weekend isn't following procedure and is a pure political move by AB gov to scare people. There are a few more levers to pull before that alert would have gone out.

There are industrial customers that has agreed to shutdown 1st before we will get into that state.

You bet, Danielle pushed the giant red alert button herself.

Hard to know if it was political but AESO had already issued their highest level of load shedding alert 2 hours prior to the phone notification going out. The AB internal load was still rising and the estorage reserves plus DCR were all almost down to 0 so it was a much worse situation than other times we've entered load shedding alerts.

I think Darells explanation is a lot more plausible than this one.

The emergency wasn't a shortage of power, it was having to pay premium prices from our neighbours. Financial Emergency We were sending our BC power to Montana at the start of the 'emergency'.
