Episode Details

Manitoba’s Premier Wab Kinew is sounding the alarm after a recent 911 outage caused by a construction crew cutting a cable, leaving nearly 90 calls unanswered — and backup systems failed too. He’s demanding immediate fixes from Bell Canada, pushing for interim solutions while urging the federal government to step in. This isn’t an isolated incident — past outages have even cost lives. Bell promises a new 911 system by 2027, but critics say maintenance cuts are to blame. Kinew insists Manitobans deserve reliable emergency access — and he’s not backing down until it’s guaranteed.
