Environment Canada provides APIs for retrieving accurate weather information within Canada. Most 3rd party sources actually pull from Environment Canada. Might be worth sourcing the weather info directly from them.

I can reproduce this on Plasma built from git-master
Setting the weather widget to "Ottawa Macdonald-Cartier International Airport, ON (NOAA's National Weather Service)" I see
