My 18th complaint to Environment Canada

[scostorms]

Tonight, I went nuts. I am reaching my limits with Environment Canada, here is an unformal, quick thought complaint I wrote them. If action isn't taking soon, then I am going to have to start something here. I didn't proof-read my email, so live with it. These are my opinions, and if any offending comments were made, then just plug your ears, close your eyes and sing.

SEND THIS TO THE HEAD OF ENVIRONMENT CANADA'S WEATHER MAN!
I have reached my breaking point with Environment Canada. Out of all the years I have been living in Canada I have had to put up with E.C.'s idiotic ways of doing things. For crying out loud, the tornado in Feversham, Ontario... Come on, like really why wasn't there even a severe thunderstorm warning in effect? This is just redicilus, I have seen so many interviews about extreme weather in Canada on the rise, and we should expect more severe weather outbreaks. Where is the technology to provide the citizens of Canada with timely weather warnings? Why don't the weather radars in southern Canada detect tornadoes like the National Weather Service's radars do?
WHY MUST TORNADO WARNINGS COME 15 TO 30 MINUTES AFTER A

TORNADO! WHY MUST SO MANY AREAS BE INCLUDED IN A TORNADO

WARNING WHEN NO THREAT IS IMMINENT? WHY AREN'T TORNADO

WARNINGS ISSUED ON THUNDERSTORMS WILL WALL CLOUDS OR

FUNNEL CLOUDS? HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO SEE "SEVERE

THUNDERSTORM WARNING... A FUNNEL CLOUD WAS SPOTTED OVER

HAMILTON AND MAY BRIEFLY TOUCHDOWN? WHY DO I HAVE TO WATCH

ALL THE LIVES AFFECTED BY TORNADOES IN CANADA, AND NO THEY

HAD NO WARNING? THIS IS JUST IT, ENVIRONMENT CANADA SHOULD

BE CLOSED DOWN FOR GOOD. SOME ONE BRING ME THE NATIONAL

WEATHER SERVICE, AND FAST. WHY IS CANADA'S TORNADO WARNING

TIME AROUND THE MOMENT YOU CAN SEE IT AT YOUR DOORSTEP, AND

NOT 15 MINUTES IN ADVANCE SO YOU HAVE TIME TO GET TO SHELTER?

WHY DOES ENVIRONMENT CANADA EVEN BOTHER WITH TORNADO

WARNINGS WHEN 90% OF THE TIME THEY ARE USELESS? HOW COME

SITTING HERE ON AUGUST 19, 2005 I HAD TO GO TO THE BASEMENT IN

WATERLOO, ONTARIO WHEN WE HAD A TORNADO WARNING, BUT THE

TORNADOES WERE IN WELLINGTON COUNTY, AND NO WHERE NEAR

HERE, AND THE WARNING TEXT DIDN'T EVEN GIVE ME NOTICE OF

WHERE THE TORNADOES WERE HEADED? HOW COME OUR TORNADO

WARNINGS NEED TO LAST SEVERAL HOURS, WHEN THE TORNADO

THREAT HAS PASSED, BUT THE WARNING DOESN'T END? WHY DOESN'T

ENVIRONMENT CANADA FOLLOW THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE?

WHY? WHY? IF IT WERE EVER POSSIBLE, IF A TORNADO TORE UP MY

HOUSE, AND I HAD NO WARNING BECAUSE YOU "METEOROLOGISTS" OR

SHOULD I SAY "PEOPLE WHO HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THEY ARE DOING"

DIDN'T ISSUE A TIMELY WARNING... I WOULD FILE A LAWSUIT AGAINST

YOUR AGENCY SO FAST, BECAUSE YOU ALL KNOW THE RISK FACING US,

THE COUNTRY WITH THE 2ND LARGEST AMOUNT OF TORNADOES IN THE

WORLD, YET NOTHING WAS EVER DONE TO PREPARE US? THIS ISN'T

THE 1950'S NO MORE... WHO KNEW? I GUESS YOU GUYS DIDN'T.

CHANGE YOUR WARNING MAPS, PLEASE GO BY COUNTIES, LIST WHERE

THE TORNADOES WILL BE NEAR AT WHAT TIME. ASK THE NATIONAL

WEATHER SERVICE FOR ASSISSTANCE FOR CRYING OUT LOUD. WHO

CARES IF LAW OR AGREEMENTS PROHIBIT THAT, I AM SICK AND TIRED

OF YOU IDIOTS AT ENVIRONMENT CANADA. HOW COME IN THE PAST

MONTH WHEN A WARNING OR WATCH IS ISSUED, FOR ABOUT HALF AN

HOUR THE TEXT OF THE MESSAGE SAYS "DETAILS TO FOLLOW". LIKE

EXCUSE ME, IF I SAW THAT ON A TORNADO WARNING... IF I WAS IN

CHARGE OF ENVIRONMENT CANADA, EVERYTHING WOULD CHANGE. NO

BUDGET, NO RULES, NO NOTHING WOULD KEEP ME FROM PROTECTING

THE CITIZENS OF CANADA. WE DESERVE MUCH MORE THAN WHAT YOU

GIVE. CALL BUFFALO NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE, AND THE DETROIT-

PONTIAC NWS, TELL THEM TO TAKE OVER WEATHER FORECASTING FOR

SOUTHERN ONTARIO. I HAVE HAD IT WITH ENVIRONMENT CANADA. I

DON'T KNOW HOW MANY MORE TIMES I CAN STAND HEARING ON THE

WEATHER NETWORK, THERE IS ROTATION IN THIS STORM, BUT

ENVIRONMENT CANADA HASN'T ISSUED A TORNADO WARNING.

TORNADOES ARE MY GREATEST THREAT LIVING IN SOUTHERN ONTARIO,

BUT I HAVE NO ADVANCED WARNING SYSTEM TO WARN ME OF THEM. I

GUESS I AM SUPPOSED TO BE MY OWN METEOROLOGIST, AND SAME

WITH EVERYONE ELSE HERE, BECAUSE YOU GUYS COULDN'T BOTHER

WITH US.

Uh...thanks for sharing.

[coriolis]

Well, I'm glad you're still alive scostorms. Sound like everything north of the border ain't as good as they (some americans that hate the USA) say it is.

[kevin]

I can't read what you wrote, I am sorry but the lines are too long combined with all caps and there aren't paragraphs...

[scostorms]

Is that any better? The point of my complaint wasn't perfect letter structure.

[CajunMama]

But you need good letter structure if you want someone to read it. I gave up after the first couple of lines. It was just too hard to read. Sorry.

[Brent]

Okay???

[scostorms]

I will for sure write another, this was just quick and truthful in my opinion. I wasn't that worried about how it looked, if E.C. doesn't bother to look at it, I wont get a reply. If they do reply, then they have obviously looked at it. Either way, another letter is in order.
