Is there a meaningful difference between the government sending you an amber alert notification on your phone and, for example, the government mailing you a tax notice? Or erecting signs (for various legitimate reasons)? Or installing (and activating) emergency lights on emergency vehicles? They are all (potentially unwanted) communications from government.
I can't imagine which section of the Charter is being violated (and even if it was, would not be saved by s. 1)?
