Have the vote. But with a caveat - not anonymous. If the vote is to leave, see ya. If the vote is to remain, those who voted otherwise MUST leave. Problem solved. Put up or shut up.
Retired ECCC meteorologist, dedicated father, but not in that order. Skeptical of cynics, cynical about skeptics, exhausted by conspiracy theorists.

Make Canadian Doppler radar available.
Oh Pierre, you do have the right to protect yourself. You don’t have the right to nearly kill someone. That’s the law, and it was properly applied. If you disagree with the law, consider becoming a politician and lobby to change it. But you won’t do that by creating anger appealing to emotion.
The AM software is still supported?? Good.
Maybe I showed this to you before. Conventional radar (25-ish years ago Strathmore) showing a trof dispersing insects. Sky was otwz clear and was a puzzle to me. Paul Joe provided the insight later. Data only here - I had created separate custom topo background for media users.
I’ve seen in the west…Saskatoon or Regina, I think.
Yesterday. And the day before that. For the last 6 months.
Jim-Bob, you could film a sequel to Lawrence of Arabia in my rain gauge…
The rich would only be unhealthy junk food.
I’m a meteorologist. We hear from armchair experts every time we look at social media.
Achievable trigger temperature of 20C by RDPS at Halifax Monday afternoon. 🤞
Be like Bill Clinton. Don’t inhale.
He will argue these are different times. He has to deal with an inherited set of problems from the previous government, Trump, and Danielle Smith. Hopefully an oil-based ignition of the economy, and what income it may generate, will lead to a weaning of an oil economy. Ironic sounding, but a plan?
3/ I’ve said for years, the only verification that matters is not what was forecast versus what happened, but rather this: given the information available prior to the event, were the best forecast decisions made? I’d say they were in this case.
2/ Being a good forecaster involves having relevant experience but in these once in a lifetime events there is NO experience to draw from. No forecaster alive in that area had ever worked through such an event. Forecasters rarely forecast record events, be it record temps, winds, or pcpn.
1/ There will be questions and, no doubt, criticism of the Texas weather forecasts prior to this historic event. As a former forecaster, I can say the local forecasters did a great job from what I see. This disaster should not be politicized.
When did the Herald become tabloid crap?
It has always been difficult to truly convey the issues of climate change to the public and tangential, off-the-mark media coverage has never helped. Now that the issue is seemingly moving backwards, we need proper media attention more than ever. This is NOT a human interest story.
Happy Belated Canada Day to Danielle Smith.
More life-like than the actual SOB
If it makes you feel better, a longer wait time isn’t reassuring. I waited 4 years for an MRI (hip) and then they imaged the wrong part. :( But I don’t argue about the rank triage results. Good luck. My son is a Medical physicist in YYC in the new centre. You’re in good hands.
Alberta is a unique case. They should spend some time studying their own oil-related history and they’ll see how Conservative AB Premiers are those responsible for all oil-related troubles. Every Premier cries foul while pointing at a federal Liberal government, all the while ruining the province.
We Canadians, sadly, are climate change experts…contributing to it greatly. :(
This just proves there is one way to be right and numerous ways to be an idiot.
How do you stand up to somebody without meeting with him? Carney would be doing a greater wrong by snubbing the arrogant felon. He has to be dealt with. I don’t see Carney bending over one bit. Let’s hope for the best. 🤞
Carney, nor anybody else, is responsible for any nonsense Trump churns out. Carney’s job is to host the whole event, not to temper or react to Trump’s verbiage. Carney did that well. No embarrassment at all.
I guess this is safe to say out loud because they aren’t here.. I’m glad we’re chemtrailing like hell and adding fluoride to the water to make the flat-earthers and anti-vaxxers sterile. Aren’t you?
As I retired meteorologist with Environment Canada, I am truly saddened by this. Government meteorologists are like hockey referees- when they do their job, you don’t notice them. People are eventually going to notice the missing shifts displayed.
Lowest “living standards” while having, by far, the highest provincial GDP per capita. So any of the majority of Albertans not realizing that high GDP should ask themselves - who the hell is bringing up the average? Hint: who is telling you to push for pipelines…?
“Baddah, baddah, baddah. Suuuuh-wing badduh!” Or not.
And it was you who he was saluting. I know it. You know it. Everybody knows it.
and to protect us against enemies that aren’t ours
A lot of talk by a certain Premier about how much $ would be lost if oil wasn’t taken from the ground. She neglected to point out the eventual financial cost of doing so! It’s not good business.
Yes, I’ve said Canada has held a great advantage - oil wealth to help the energy transition that is necessary and inevitable. Forgetting the effects of climate change, investment in O&G doesnt make long term financial sense to the average guy. The fantasy is thinking otherwise.
Sure, let’s procrastinate more. Let’s ignore the increasing financial cost of climate change. And continue to focus on avoiding diversification of the economy at the same time. Woo hoo!
Well, to be honest, my faith in natural intelligence has never been lower.
Does he have a half of a pack of cigarettes and a full tank of gas? ;)
We’re not paying to defend trump from the enemies he’s racking up.
The enemy of my enemy is still my enemy. Sorry.
They’re his enemies, not ours. Let him pay for the friggin’ thing. Better yet, we’ll charge him $61 billion for rent his installation will need in our Arctic. Mineral rights not included.
How about letting parents make such decisions on things regarding their children.
Finally Parliament has returned and all relevant parties are inside and hard at work.
Trump can pay for defending against the enemies he is rapidly accumulating himself.
There are no more climate change deniers now. There are only climate change don’t-give-a-shitters. The science is clear, the forecasts are bearing truth and there are no valid counter-arguments.
The leader of the Opposition is an important role in Canadian politics. PP is not fulfilling those duties. Conservatives should be more bothered than anyone else. The shmendrick lost the election, and his seat, and he still seems to be campaigning in the same immature manner.
I hope that bacteria wasn’t harmed.
Opposite of boobies people. tephigram.ca/500_3d.html
You want proof humans are knuckleheads? I assure you - not a single gorilla is debating the “gorilla versus 100 men” nonsense.
When calls for Trudeau to step down began, I was repeatedly appalled to see how citizens treated public-serving figures. Then I witnessed how PP conducted his campaign, seeing how his behaviour was abhorrent and embarrassing so I exempted him my ‘treat right’ rule. Enjoy your fallback career Pierre.
They entered adulthood during age of widespread misinformation and “dirty political campaigning” becoming the norm.
Hmmm. Selective memory abounds. Catholics - you’re not doing anyone any favours by looking the other way.
Let’s see…we could call him Sleepy Don. Would that be rude?
Dear Canada: vote or shut up. Vote and accept the results - while shutting up.
Pierre is doing it again.
In 1913, income taxes begun in the U.S. They were intended to target the wealthy. Previously, gov’t revenue came from tariffs - a cost passed on to the rest of society. Wake up America. You're going backwards. You’re being had. Hard.
Let me know if I can be of any help, boss.

I’ve never heard of anyone being too straight.
The brittle system just got broken.
It’s obvious what he has to do. He needs to make more promises, more slogans, and more throw more mud.
Thanks for saying this out loud Catherine.
Ha! I’m torn as an Albertan living in the Maritimes. I’ve in the past voiced objection to Quebec’s desire for ‘identity’ but now… I get it. I f*cking get it. I appreciate all my Quebec friends more than ever. Get on board Alberta!
Discerning Canadians can distinguish and appreciate normal Americans, George.
There was btn 10-15cm accumulated this morning inland. I’m in middle sackville - the RDPS didn’t do all that bad.
I propose the nickname Pete ‘Loose Lips’ Hegseth. Thoughts?
They’re just reminding people they’re on the job! You know…
That’s gonna be my new ringtone. A small step above ‘vintage bells’.
“double, double oil and trouble; earth burn and cauldron bubble". Witch.
The fabricated ‘facts’ on Canada taking advantage of the U.S. need to be countered. We need to control and counter the rhetoric this U.S. is casting. The White House spokespeople are shameful.
If Trump wants to force annexation of Canada, he’d better hurry. I suspect America is losing respect by about 100,000 people worldwide every time Trump opens his yap. And he can’t stop doing that. He’s probably too late now AND we’re ready.
A lack of official political experience doesn’t seem to be a detriment anymore. Carney will do great. His business experience might be more valuable against Trump anyway. Although PP WAS once a paperboy…
Yep.
The most energetic can charged particles spiral down the magnetic field lines at the poles, interact with atmospheric elements. This excitation results in the aurora.
A thought: maybe the Ukrainian defence effort could be funded by selling $5 lottery tickets with the winner getting to punch JD Vance in the nose.
Pull your nose out and take a breath, Starmer. You son of a bitch sycophant.
F Elon Felon.
I’m setting up a site to offer upper air soundings in tephigram and hodograph format. Lots of skew-T diagrams available but scant few tephigram format. It’s a work in progress. At this time showing only Canadian Regional model profiles. Observed data coming soon. Visit tephigram.ca #WxSky
Right wing extremism is not a new thing in (my home province) Alberta. It is simply this: the wealth provided by the oil resources fosters a high degree of entitlement. Keegstra and holocaust deniers, Proud Boys, Naziism,… the redneck persona is real among the blue collars. Nothing new. No worries.🤞
Many of my favorite career highlights as a meteorologist in Canada involve AMS conferences. This is great to see.
It makes me wonder if the resignation of PEI’s PC Premier is related to Houston’s (seemingly) sudden ‘rightening’. Something has shifted in PC land.
You’re not, but you’re as naive as you were 5 weeks ago.
The Department Of Greedy Elon
Excellent
From RDPs 12Z run this morning, valid 21Z. Dry adiabatic to 750mb, possible subsidence inversion above that. Not atypical profile. Note: model output.
15+ years as an aviation forecaster.. Microbursts aren’t a winter issue. Shear can be issue with strong inversions, but i don’t think that’s the case here with 35 kts at sfc. Mechanical turbc occurs with stg sfc winds.
Do you have the TAF by chance? Hopefully representative.
He stopped?
Well done Mr. Nenshi. Well researched. Maybe I’ll move back to my home province someday yet.
Trump: I’ll trade you Ukraine for Greenland. Putin: But we don’t own them. Trump: Don’t we? Putin: Oh, of course we do comrade.
Hmmm… doesnt seem to want to animate
“You can’t shoot values.” Um, why would you want to, Pete?
