The premier of Nova Scotia has issued a stinging rebuke to the telecommunications companies that serve the province, saying too many residents are still without cellphone service four days after post-tropical storm Fiona roared across Atlantic Canada.

Tim Houston issued a statement Wednesday saying it’s unacceptable that there are Nova Scotians who still can’t call 911 or connect with loved ones.
