Remember this story the next time Socialists promise to make your life better by putting the government in charge of more things.
Good news, Hawaii, it’s not your screw-up we’re laughing at this time
Yes, the TV show did well during the Golden Globes. By social media terms, that was *forever* ago. Why would Chernobyl be trending again?
Early on Sunday morning, Canadians got the following alarm message on their emergency warning system… and yes, this included cell phones.
About two hours later, there was a follow-up ‘oops’ message.
Even the Weather Network got in on it…

Social media lit right up.
Not really how one wants to begin a Sunday. The entire province received the msg but it only applies to those within 10km of Pickering? I need more info: there was an incident at a NUCLEAR POWER PLANT but hey, it’s cool, no need to worry??? #pickering #pickeringnuclear #ontario pic.twitter.com/ZaNM3xyzNn

Hey guys, I’ve got a great idea.
Let’s put the government in charge of our health care, too!
What could *possibly* go wrong?
