HEY CANADIANS
Looks like Canada is going to shut down over-the-air VHF Weatheradio in March? Here's deets:
Environment Canada to Silence Weatheradio Network
After 50 years of service, Environment Canada is decommissioning the VHF Weatheradio network on March 16, 2026.

I know this doesn't affect that many people but they gave like no warning so I guess now's the time to say something if you care.

@moira Does this mean marine VHF weather broadcasts will end? There's parts of Lake Ontario (one of the narrower of the Great Lakes) where you cannot get a cell signal. And if you can't get an offshore cell signal there, you sure won't on Lake Huron and Superior and probably Lake Michigan too. That's not cool or safe, if the marine VHF weather broadcasts are ending....

@moira This is crazy stupid.
There are soooOOooo many places without cellular service that will not have reliable alerting and weather information now.
Did they consult literally anyone outside of a big city?
Feedback submitted!

@javensbukan Tell others, too. I'm a city girl, this doesn't affect me, but I know it affects others.

@alexblock I don't know enough to answer that. I hope not, I hope that's separate, but I don't know.

@moira this doesn't affect that many people....until there's an emergency and the cell network is down or degraded and the app fails to notify, or the power grid is down and you can't charge your phone.

@alexblock @moira Marine weather broadcasts should continue on channel 83B (for the inland great lakes waters) as usual, per my reading of what is going on.

@moira There's already next to no shortwave left in Canada. This is the last little bit, I guess.
