Episode Details

Alberta’s government is launching a major review of its emergency alert system after the tragic disappearance of 11-year-old Parker, a non-verbal autistic boy who vanished in Calgary and was found nearly two weeks later. The province aims to strengthen protocols—especially the Amber Alert—to better protect vulnerable individuals, consulting law enforcement, disability advocates, and communities.

This national conversation is gaining momentum, with the federal Conservative leader also calling for alert system reforms—while experts warn that overuse could backfire, underscoring the need for balance.
