Caught a news clip like this last night on the 6 o'clock CTV news, nothing like white suburbanites complaining about having to boil their water, while they hold a cup of timmies in their hand, while making references to this not being Africa, while they hold a garage sale to get rid of more personal items than the average African would ever have in their lifetime. To me it was the "ugly Calgarian" in full force, it made me feel dirty.

The thing that get's me is that @Neshi posted "URGENT: Boil Water Advisory" to twitter at
9:14 PM by
9:29 PM (Yes 15 fata minutes) there was people complaining
"WHY weren't **we** told!1!"
I get it, you just downed a big ol glass of water and then immediately see "boil water in *your neighbourhood*" so you get a little worried/scared. But come on, we live in a large city and you found out within an hour, even if the city had gone with door knocking first, do you think it would have been faster?
