I've noticed, and if I recall correctly mentioned previously on Stormfront, that by far the most of these alerts seem to be in my own area, the province of Manitoba - typically in the city of Winnipeg. Previously I've speculated that they might just be more likely to come to my notice due to being local. Yet I do occasionally get articles from other provinces. I'm wondering if perhaps Manitoba as a province, or the Winnipeg police force, have some kind of policy that expedites the publication of such warnings - and other areas in Canada are simply letting such releases go unnoticed more often.
