I am going to push back because for whatever faults it has, many US public agencies default to the public having a right to know. This brand of stonewalling is uniquely and decidedly Canadian and any working journalist in this country will tell you so

Yes, we need to rely on third party websites collecting and archiving data because our own public agencies refuse to share that information once it is taken off their website in 24 hours

I want to be clear, I am not suggesting conspiracy. In part because I am familiar with how routine this sort of stonewalling is. But this really lays it bare. They won’t tell us what the weather was

Remove emotions and how you feel about this government. Journalist asks weather agency for weather data that is routinely collected and disseminated. 2 days later they are told, in so many words, that information will not be shared. We cannot have access to information about the weather last week

Show Post

This is a publicly funded government agency refusing to share weather warnings and their own public warnings with a journalist at Global News, one of the larger mainstream news outlets in Canada. I really want you to sit with the bare facts of that.
