The most Canadian thing you'll read all day

Beavers are being blamed for an internet, cellphone and cable TV outage in a remote town in northern B.C. 

Tumbler Ridge, a four-hour drive north-east of Prince George, with a population of 1,982, is in the midst of what is now a two-day-long Telus coverage outage due to damage on local fibre cables by resident wildlife.

    Didn't make much of a stir when they did the same thing in my home area.

    ALL communications including 9-1-1 were down the second time the bastidges cut the fiber optic trunk line...

    "Call the sheriff's department" doesn't work when NOTHING gets a dial-tone, including landlines.
