Are we supposed to have received the amber alert of this morning?
I did not receive it.

Wasn't it supposed to be the 8th?
Anyway, it has been reported because of the floods.

It was for a missing child, I do not know if we are suppose to receive it on the phone

Fizz is on Vidéotron's network so I believe it should work :-)
I did not get anything either yet though...

Are you referring to the Canada-wide test alert scheduled last week, on May 8th?

It was cancelled in Quebec due to flooding in some areas.

Thanks for the update on the alerts guys. I was wondering about that as well.

Oh I see you are referring to the Amber Alert this morning for a missing child in Ontario.
The boy, 3, was found safe in Toronto after Amber Alert issued in Sudbury, Ont.

As I said on the francophone side of the community, it depends on where you're located when they send the alert.

Here's the list of all places where the Amber alert was issued earlier this morning : https://archivedalertes.pelmorex.com/archive/2019-05-14/2019-05-14T12_39_27_23I891C57D1-037C-A33F-6D07-F169D9CCA568_001.xml (note : it's a .xml file but you can view it in you browser)

In fact this message is the end of the Amber alert. If you look at the line called Polygon, you can see in which region (or polygon) the alert was issued.
