The summer is heating up! #Edmonton and #Montreal are flooded by historic rains, Lytton BC is under threat again by wildfire, and Vancouver Island is in a historic drought.

Does Environment Canada have the ability to warn us and track the changes in our climate? The government is cutting ECCC services and capabilities at a time that we need it more than ever.

Here's our petition to tell them to restore Environment Canada!

https://www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en/Petition/Details?Petition=e-7465

Please post it on all of your socials, send it in an email, send it to your MP and MLA/MPP.

We're only 73 signatures away from the magic 500 needed for #e7465! We're hoping for many more before the summer ends so Government can't ignore this issue.

Here’s what we, citizens and residents of Canada, are asking from the #Carney Government:

1. Reverse cuts to Environment and Climate Change Canada that impact weather forecasting, meteorological research and climate science;

2. Restore and maintain Weatheradio and other accessible public alert systems;

3. Protect and expand weather observation and climate monitoring stations across Canada;

4. Ensure adequate staffing and long-term funding for ECCC programs, scientists, meteorologists and technical experts; and

5. Recognize weather forecasting and climate monitoring as essential public safety infrastructure.

The petition ends August 26th in time for the new session in the fall. We have the summer to get it done!

We are at exactly 400 signatures on petition #e7465 to restore Environment Canada funding for weather forecasting, radar, and all the other weather and climate work they do!

If you're watching the #CanadaQatar #FIFAWorldCup2026 today talk to your Canadian friends about signing this petition!

We need 500 minimum, but we should get at least a 1000 to make a statement!

Sign, Share, Speak!

Oki/Bonjour/Hello,

Do you know if there's any way to protect #endangeredspecies against farmers? A friend found a nest of grasshopper sparrows in a canola field today, and they will probably excavate the field soon.

247 signatures! Who's going to be #250 and mark the halfway point to the 500 minimum we need!?

I know there are more than 500 avid Canadian weather watchers, measurers, and nerds out there on the #Fediverse!

Sign the petition here!

really happy to see nearly 200 signatures on the petition to the Government of Canada to restore the services cut from Environment and Climate Change Canada.

Science, research, and emergency preparedness should not be at the whim of political winds.

If you haven't already, head over to ourcommons.ca, click Petitions, and look for Petition e-7465.

SIgn, and please post and share the link as well!

Thank you!

Already 78 signers of the #e7465 petition to get #CarneyRestoreECCC ! Only need 500 to get it presented in Parliament with a response from Government but let's go for 1000!

I won't link it directly as it tends to crash the Parliament "www.ourcommons.ca” website which is counter productive :+)

So instead I'll encourage you to type that address in yourself and follow the directions in the pictures attached to sign the petition and restore Environment and Climate Change Canada!

Are you a Canadian resident or citizen and would like to participate in a weather related e-petition?

The government is cutting parts of Environment and Climate Change Canada, including radar, radio, and other services.

I need at least 5 'supporters' to get the e-petition started so it can be opened for signers.

Shoot me a DM with your name and a contact email!
