🇨🇦 Canada can track your carbon footprint, but not the weather

Here is the absurdity: Canadians now get less warning about storms because Ottawa built a country that leans on U.S. systems for basic forecasting. The reported problem is weather balloons, but the real story is sovereignty on clearance sale. Our governing class loves grand sermons about climate emergencies, net zero and global leadership, yet when it comes to boring state capacity like meteorology, Canada is apparently waiting by the phone for Washington.

This is Trudeau-era governance in one frame: endless spending on consultants, DEI bureaucracy and international posturing, while actual national infrastructure gets treated like an optional extra. Storm notice is not some luxury item for farmers, pilots, truckers and remote communities. It is core public competence. A serious country invests in its own forecasting resilience instead of outsourcing awareness of its own skies. But serious countries are run for citizens. This one is run for optics, conferences and applause from people who do not live here.
