The canadian federal government is going to be terminating public weatherradio broadcasts and emergency alerts on March 16th, 2026.

This is very bad. Cell & Internet emergency alerts have been dubiously reliable, and countless people in rural areas still rely on weatherradio for emergency alerts. What can we do to stop this? We can't let austerity cuts get in the way of life safety and emergency preparedness.
