Lewis Wheelan, RIP

Poor Lewis, he deserves better. This is the problem with the warnings they give not to use air conditioning and not to call 911 except in a real emergency. I'm sure everyone would agree that Lewis' case was a real emergency, but, knowing him, it is very likely that he heard on the radio "Don't call 911 unless it's a real emergency" and decided to wait it out, saving 911 services for seniors and people trapped in elevators.

Similarly, I can see seniors in need deciding not to turn on their air conditioning because Ernie Eves is telling them to keep it off, thinking "Meh, I've been through worse than not having A/C" They should tell people "If you have a medical condition where you are affected by the heat, go ahead and turn on the A/C. If you have such a medical condition and you don't have electricity yet, call 911 so paramedics can evacuate you." Or they should just tell everyone to set their thermostats to 30 degrees, and then everyone will have A/C only when they absolutely need it.
