Comment on Closure of the Weatheradio service in Canada

Comments

If this is a money issue can someone else take over? I mean can they raise money for it. I'm not Canadaian but I'll donate.

I'd be willing to bet that Canada takes in more than enough tax payer dollars to cover the expense of this critical service. I'd even be willing to bet that there's more than enough tax payer money just in waste and fraud to cover the expense if somebody cared to dig into the finances and government contracts to track it down. The idea of cutting this service as a cost savings measure is laughable.

I'd be willing to bet that the government didn't want to run it anymore, so they asked pelmorex...

pelmorex probably said "pay me", and the government said "well I guess we'll just shut it down"...
