The LDM would be the best way to insure completeness and have it arrive 
as it was issued, but if you prefer the browser there are options. :)

Of course I am sure you are aware of EC's own site that distributes their
own text messages at:

i.e. this page for warnings:

http://weather.gc.ca/warnings/index_e.html

Alternatively, we "webify" the text products broadcast over the US SBN 
(NOAAPort)
and those can be found at:

http://motherlode.ucar.edu/cgi-bin/ldm/genweb?native/nwstg/text

Unfortunately there are not any services behind the text collection, so you 
will need to parse out the 
bulletins you desire.
