Important note about using Weather Network and AccuWeather
We can link to those pages now. For automatic live data reuse, we should use official APIs or licensed access instead of scraping. AccuWeather offers developer APIs, and Canadian official weather data can be accessed through ECCC/MSC GeoMet. The Weather Network data should only be reused if permission or an approved data arrangement is available.
