This same junk happens in Canada. Attempts to disrupt pages like this:

https://weather.gc.ca/city/pages/on-118_metric_e.html

and any info from Environment Canada, being packaged in a way that might compete, with the very same people using Environment Canada's free data for-profit.

Cries of "How can the Government compete with the private sector" are thrown around, always glossing over how that very data is often sourced from the Government. Pathetic. Leeches of the worst kind.



But who? Who specifically in Canada is making these cries?
