Environment Canada has changed its site again :(

Environment Canada recently changed its web site and broken (again) the ecForecast and warningsCA blocks. I see in reading older posts this has happened before and Jachym reportedly said he would not fix those things again. Fair enough, if that is what our volunteer coder has decided after several frustrations, then it is his decision. Jachym may want to delete the now-not-working Environment Canada blocks from this site.

I have another website using a different template (has pluses and minuses) that is still, for now, working. I don't know how it is different from Meteotemplate. (For reference it is pwsdashboard(dot)com.)

As a side note, last year Canada Fisheries and Oceans deleted its free API for tides. You can still go to its site to get tides but can't put the info into your own page as easily as you once could. Other sources I found are all paid. Why does a Public Agency care if other folks use its API? It is already paid for by taxpayer money. Same as Environment Canada.
