Gervais,

   I have no knowledge of Canada weather but if you can produce something
published in text then it can be vocalized. The problem is getting it to
say things correctly. The SayWeather.sh script I put out does it
specifically for the National Weather Service and is US weather by zone. As
far as an example the file is a 900K audio file so I would rather not put
it out on this list. You can create it locally by setting up voicerss and
running the weather script as is. It will give you weather for the
Philadelphia area as an example.

*73 Doug*
