I agree, but it's what the program came up with.

When I give it the code for an airport in Africa it responds with the
local conditions but says

      WARNING: no URI defined for zone_forecast

rather than guess at a forecast.  If it was using the nearest big US
city it would return a Miami forecast.

In any case to provide forecasts for Canada the program will need to be
modified to use whatever data Environment Canada provides.  They provide
text bullitins that look just like the US ones so it shouldn't be too
hard.
