In comedy of errors, Canada accidentally sends nuke warning to citizens

In a comedy of errors, Canadian government officials sent a push notification of an apparent nuke warning to the citizens of Ontario district. People throughout the Canadian province of Ontario awoke Sunday to a cellphone alert warning them of an “incident” at a nuclear plant just east of Toronto — only to later be told the message was a mistake. The message, which was transmitted throughout the nation’s most populous province, was accompanied by a shrill emergency broadcast noise. It said an unspecified event had occurred at the Pickering Nuclear Generating Station.
