Bell Canada working to restore internet after almost 140,000 affected in Ontario, Quebec

Thousands of Canadians were offline Wednesday morning due to a widespread Bell internet outage. The company confirmed on social media that service for some Quebec and Ontario customers may be interrupted and said it is working to resolve the issue. At downdetector.ca , a website that relies on user reports to track service disruptions and outages, more than 140,000 reports were received by 9:37 a.m. ET.

Rachel Smith is expecting to give birth any day in the epicentre of Canada’s worst measles outbreak in nearly 30 years. However, the Aylmer, Ont., mother is not worried about her health or the health of her baby because she’s fully vaccinated against the virus. Her cousin, Esther Wiebe, is not worried either, but for a different reason – she and her three unvaccinated children have already recovered from measles and are now immune.
