I retired from ECCC several years ago after 30 years. I was surplussed twice over the course of my career. Due to Workforce Adjustment l (and others) were salvaged. Is this not an option anymore - no contractual Reasonable Job Offers? Sorry to hear this.

Who needs wiretaps when the knuckleheads are happy to add their names to a pre-referendum list and then publicly brag about it? I’d like a copy of the list.

Unreasonable? That’s the bar here? I’d say the method of protest was, at the very least, unreasonable.

I use the small scale analogy even sceptics observe: leaving a puppy in a locked up car on a hot sunny day. Incident energy absorbed in car is re-emitted at a wavelength that has a harder time escaping car. Car heats up. Puppy is in danger. CO2 makes re-emitted energy harder to escape. QED.

And that’s Canada’s average - over 40 million people and vast area. Alberta’s per capita emissions are 4x that, putting them at, or near, the highest in the world. That’s argument enough to recognize the importance of diversification…

She now has to deal with the separatist sentiment she’s being fostering for a few years. She’s still framing this issue as a fight between AB and Ottawa. Hopefully she’s fracturing her base. Shw won some points back by saying you can shoot people in your own house…🤔

For day 7, I agree with your advice. At least this isn’t a day 10 (or longer) event when, often, a few ‘social media-ologists‘ race to be the first to claim the sky is falling. ;) Having completed extensive hurricane verification for ECCC , I don’t consider all models equal (poor man’s ensemble).

Excellent. Every modelling center is responsible for their own verification statistics yet they willingly offer output to the end of integration. They really shouldn’t provide output beyond 7 days to the general public. The issues this causes wx offices is many, mainly discrediting. 30 years an MT.

My best friend of 50+ years had a 4+ year battle. Last January he invoked MAID. When he made the decision he was at peace with it. I spoke with him long distance within 90 minutes of the end and he was very glad he had the option. Eventually we all understood.

Oh Pierre, you do have the right to protect yourself. You don’t have the right to nearly kill someone. That’s the law, and it was properly applied. If you disagree with the law, consider becoming a politician and lobby to change it. But you won’t do that by creating anger appealing to emotion.

Maybe I showed this to you before. Conventional radar (25-ish years ago Strathmore) showing a trof dispersing insects. Sky was otwz clear and was a puzzle to me. Paul Joe provided the insight later. Data only here - I had created separate custom topo background for media users.

He will argue these are different times. He has to deal with an inherited set of problems from the previous government, Trump, and Danielle Smith. Hopefully an oil-based ignition of the economy, and what income it may generate, will lead to a weaning of an oil economy. Ironic sounding, but a plan?

3/ I’ve said for years, the only verification that matters is not what was forecast versus what happened, but rather this: given the information available prior to the event, were the best forecast decisions made? I’d say they were in this case.

Jim M @jimmur.bsky.social · 07/07/2025

2/ Being a good forecaster involves having relevant experience but in these once in a lifetime events there is NO experience to draw from. No forecaster alive in that area had ever worked through such an event. Forecasters rarely forecast record events, be it record temps, winds, or pcpn.

1/ There will be questions and, no doubt, criticism of the Texas weather forecasts prior to this historic event. As a former forecaster, I can say the local forecasters did a great job from what I see. This disaster should not be politicized.

It has always been difficult to truly convey the issues of climate change to the public and tangential, off-the-mark media coverage has never helped. Now that the issue is seemingly moving backwards, we need proper media attention more than ever. This is NOT a human interest story.

If it makes you feel better, a longer wait time isn’t reassuring. I waited 4 years for an MRI (hip) and then they imaged the wrong part. :( But I don’t argue about the rank triage results. Good luck. My son is a Medical physicist in YYC in the new centre. You’re in good hands.

Alberta is a unique case. They should spend some time studying their own oil-related history and they’ll see how Conservative AB Premiers are those responsible for all oil-related troubles. Every Premier cries foul while pointing at a federal Liberal government, all the while ruining the province.

How do you stand up to somebody without meeting with him? Carney would be doing a greater wrong by snubbing the arrogant felon. He has to be dealt with. I don’t see Carney bending over one bit. Let’s hope for the best. 🤞
