Must say, those #EnvironmentCanada radar maps are looking pretty rough these days. They could use some human factors/UX help for that interface I think.

They've made some feature changes recently and seem a bit lost.

On Wednesday, the House of Commons petition #e7465 for reversing the cuts to Environment Canada closed and closed and yesterday it was certified for presentation in the House!

https://www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en/Petition/Details?Petition=e-7465

Thank you to the over 700 folks who signed! It will likely be presented in the House of Commons in the coming weeks. I'll ask for a heads up from MP Gord Johns when he is going to bring it forward!

I apologize I have been so busy with the #poolpond, work, family, and other things over the summer I was not able to put much effort into promotion, but we got more than enough for it to be presented! So let's hope it has a good response from Government.

Thank you again for all your help!

This is for readers on Bluesky. The weather is not ok, and Environment Canada is being cut.

Please sign and share my House of Commons petition to restore Environment Canada funding.

Text below:

Petition to the Government of Canada
Whereas:

Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) plays a critical role in protecting Canadians through weather forecasting, severe weather warnings, climate monitoring and scientific research;

Canada is experiencing increasingly frequent and severe weather and climate related events, including wildfires, floods, atmospheric rivers, hurricanes, heat waves, winter storms and derechos;

Weather radar research, observation stations, Weatheradio services and frontline meteorological staff are essential public safety tools, particularly for rural, remote and Indigenous communities;

Recent and proposed reductions to ECCC staffing, research capacity, and public weather services risk weakening Canada’s ability to predict, monitor, and respond to dangerous weather events;

Reliable weather forecasting and climate science are vital to emergency preparedness, transportation safety, agriculture, marine operations and public confidence; and
Canadians deserve a strong, modern and fully supported public weather service.

We, the undersigned, citizens and residents of Canada, call upon the Government of Canada to

1. Reverse cuts to Environment and Climate Change Canada that impact weather forecasting, meteorological research and climate science;

2. Restore and maintain Weatheradio and other accessible public alert systems;

3. Protect and expand weather observation and climate monitoring stations across Canada;

4. Ensure adequate staffing and long-term funding for ECCC programs, scientists, meteorologists and technical experts; and

5. Recognize weather forecasting and climate monitoring as essential public safety infrastructure.
