Just remember, the Liberals supported this too. If they think this will attract more researchers to Canada, they are smoking the dope they legalized. And once again, just like animal research, why is it @picardonhealth.bsky.social who needs to raise this publicly and not @u15ca.bsky.social

I’d missed this last week but Indiana passed a new law that is leading to the forced elimination of hundreds of majors across their state universities. Apropos of recent events, the eliminated majors include atmospheric science. Sabotage is a word that comes to mind.

Interesting read: "...open data policies, regardless of motive, could promote adversarial reanalysis and produce potentially paralyzing challenges to existing scientific and regulatory infrastructures."
(This isn't to say that open data policies are bad, just that they have certain implications.)
