Weather experts concerned about public safety as Environment Canada disbands radar research team

This is REALLY bad. I'm a massive weather nerd, and I can say with high levels of certainty that both Canadian radars, and the ECCC data platforms are horrible.

And given that severe weather is only increasing, its only a matter of time before people die because of the lack of funding, and early detection.

I want to make it clear: our forecasts being terrible has nothing to do with the people making them. If you give them shit data, they can't make strong predictions. Garbage in, garbage out. Give them the tools they need to do their fucking job.

I'll get off my soapbox now.
