    It’s fucking Canada and it’s only in the last 20 years you even had a chance of getting a call through in the middle of nowhere. People managed to survive before cellphones, it’s almost like using your head and being prepared for Canadian winter just went away when people could call for a rescue.

      People also survived before cars and paved roads too… this is important infrastructure being under serviced by our oligopoly of telcos.
