Environment Canada said that over the past year, its "scientists and meteorologists have been carrying out extensive testing on the hybrid model, running it in parallel with our traditional model to evaluate its performance for predicting weather conditions in Canada."

The department added it will continue to rely on its meteorologists, whose is judgment is "critical" to interpreting results and communicating them to the public.

 

McKay filed a complaint with the Commission for Complaints for Telecom-television Services, an independent organization that helps customers in Canada resolve complaints related to internet and television services. Rogers replied to that complaint in an email, saying McKay didn't have the authority to dispute the account because it wasn't hers.

"The complainant has expressly confirmed that they are not the account holder and are therefore not authorized to submit a complaint on behalf of the account holder," it said.

McKay said that when she tried to dispute her debt with Equifax, one of Canada's largest credit-rating agencies, Rogers told them the account is legitimate and that the debt is hers.

"So, on one hand … they're telling me I don't have any authority to complain about how this is being handled or about the fact that I'm being held responsible for something," she said.

I think both things can be true to be honest.

It's a shame, but I can also understand why - council meetings and other open events are increasingly security risks, full of wingnut conspiracy theorists.

Even though I mostly watched the main CBC feed, I really enjoy the Olympics being handled by the broadcast consortium.

There was a small moment at the end of the hockey tournament where Elliotte Friedman turned to his fellow panelists and thanked them, acknowledging that they may never actually work together again, since they were a hodgepodge of Sportsnet people and TSN people, amongst others. Kind of a unique* thing.

*okay, probably not unique, but somewhat unusual.

The Brits seemed to be in full control going into the ninth, and it was theirs to lose.

And they did, with some critical errors that completely changed the momentum of the game.

Tough Olympics for her, but it's good to see her get a medal.

I didn't claim otherwise.

To be clear, this was a single location, not the entire company.

I don't have a real issue with floor-crossing, since it's true to the principle that you're supposed to vote for the principle, not the party.

But it's pretty tough to deny that that's simply not the way most people vote.

"Slide fast" - suddenly I understand the sport!

They're still three seats shy, thanks to the resignations of Blair and Freeland, and the Supreme Court overturning Tatiana Auguste's election.
