Cell service disruptions reported in parts of Nova Scotia CBC News



Parts of Nova Scotia are dealing with deteriorating cell service as post-tropical storm Lee blows through the region.

Bell, a major cellular service provider, confirmed in an email it is seeing some "wireless congestion" in areas where there are widespread power outages.

"Our crews are deploying generators where required and safe to do so," a spokesperson for the company said. "When the storm passes we will have a better sense of impacts and will keep our customers updated via social media."

In an update with reporters on Saturday, Erica Fleck, director of emergency management for Halifax, said the municipality is aware of an outage in the Dartmouth area.

"The service providers are working with the province and feeding us information and we don't have any updates on the restoration time as of yet," Fleck said.

Cell service outages were a widespread problem during post-tropical storm Fiona last year.

Ahead of Lee's arrival, representatives for Bell and Eastlink, another cell provider, said they had both strengthened their systems since Fiona.

To be spontaneous means not to act out of the past, because out of the past is all cunningness, cleverness, calculation, arithmetic. When you act in the moment and it has no reference to your past, the action has a beauty, a purity – the same as a small child’s act. Whether he laughs or cries or goes into a tantrum or becomes angry, all his acts have purity – it is uncalculated. His anger is hot and not cold. The calculated anger is cold. His anger is natural, a responsiveness. He has not brooded over it, he has not planned it. He is just in the hands of nature – hence the beauty. He is surrendered to his nature; he is not trying to cont...

After arriving in the city of Artyom by train, Kim traveled to an airport just outside the port city of Vladivostok where Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu and other senior military officials gave him an up-close look at Russia's strategic bombers and other warplanes. All the Russian warplanes shown to Kim on Saturday were among the types that have seen active use in the war in Ukraine, including the Tu-160, Tu-95 and Tu-22 bombers that have regularly launched cruise missiles. Shoigu and Lt. Gen. Sergei Kobylash, the commander of the Russian long-range bomber force, explai...
