Bethune Radar Down Again! Dead zone Moosejaw to regina.

[SASKFARMER3]

Ah why cant the feds get anything right. We live in Tornado Valley Canada in Sask and Radar is a tool to keep people safe. Well Bethune is down again so this time environment Canada has mad all the radar stations overlap and has a map showing storms. Only problem their is a dead zone from Moosjaw to Regina. Ah have fun if the shit hits the fan in a storm.
But its only one of the largest populated areas of Saskatchewan who live in that corridor. I guess individual safety means nothing.
Welcome to Canada move on nothing to see here all is fine.

Maybe PM Tom Mulcair will fix it for us.

No radar, no rain

50 year old tech, not water proof, stops in every rain event. No $$ for radar, too few population here. Wonder how it is down east?

From March 2014:
The Harper government's plan for Environment Canada, the department tasked with coordinating the country's environmental policies and programs, involves millions of dollars in cuts and hundreds of job losses over the next three years.

No dollars for radar upgrades just for globull warming propaganda. It is all about priorities.

"globull", now that's funny.

And endless commercials. Justin this - Justin that!

I'll vote for the candidate who promises a new radar station the day after he is elected, LOL

Plus another radar for the north end of grain belt. we are on the edge and therefore less accurate. Nipawin, Carrot, HB have NO radar.
