Story 1 A survivalist group in Orangeville, Ontario was awakened new year's day by its alarm system. Manning their stations armed and ready to fend off hungry people attempting to steal their food rations from their underground bunker, they saw three small children at their door with a basket of food. The children said their parents had told them that the group was concerned about having enough food and the children wanted to help them out. Story 2 A radical fundamentalist group in Quebec, believing the world was coming to an end, attempted mass suicide at midnight. They awoke the next morning in good health. A computer glitch at the manufacturer of the lethal drug had caused a mislabeling. What the group ingested was a mild sedative. The leader of the group said it was one of the best night's sleep he had had in many years. Story 3 The patrons of a small bank in Northern Ontario were surprised to find a ten dollar error in their favor in their bank accounts on New Year's Day. When asked if it was caused by a Y2K computer glitch the manager of the bank replied that he just wanted to give his customers a little gift to start off the new year.
