Sad to see things like this close, the US had a some similar stations that have closed over the years. I think these stations are still useful in this day and age.

The costs of these stations were probably like change one find in their sofa. But in the US, there is always enough funds for killing people, little for keeping people alive and safe. The same may be starting to happen in Canada too, they probably need to start increasing they defense spending due to changing winds from the south.
