With a bad ice storm in Ontario Canada where Toronto had 300,000 customers losing electricity, with trees and branches littering streets, pumping stations flooding etc, etc, all in -12 or 14C weather and estimates that power might not be restored to some areas of the city our PM has sent out a couple of tweets.<br /><br />http://montrealsimon.blogspot.ca/2013/12/stephen-harpers-great-ice-storm-mistake.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5841910768079015534.post-12607159507972458792014-01-01T17:32:33.258+00:002014-01-01T17:32:33.258+00:00Agreed, complete reliance on 'the authroriti...Agreed, complete reliance on 'the authrorities' is unrealistic. If Citzenship is still on the curriculum then I would recommend a module on 'belt and braces' planning, including for losing connection to the Internet, and another one on resilience.

It will still be a miserable experience but surely better than helplessly waiting. journeywithtechhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12036123168442636764noreply@blogger.com
