Here's the biggest PSE story you haven't heard yet: the Canada Student Grant for low-income students is being cut from $4200/year to $3000/year as of next August. It's implicit in the budget tables but the government is too chickenshit to actually say so directly.

Why Trump would be perfect for an honorary U-M doctoral degree
Awarding Trump an honorary doctoral degree would be an opportunity to recognize the long way the University has walked in less than two years. U-M juniors may still remember times when the campus code...

Again, the escalator and teleprompter errors were the result of Trump's people screwing up, so this is a great example of how the right works

Yeaaaaaaaah, I'd be willing to bet TWO full coffee that we aren't seeing science research funding directly.
I'll be the first to applaud the federal government if we actually see new investments in research and science.
I fear, instead, we're about to see significant cuts.
Fingers crossed that when Carney shows us what kind of leader he is, we'll be clapping.

Massive investment in science in the upcoming Canadian budget would send a strong message that rationality and reason should lead the world, not charlatanism. People will return to science-based policies and health measures, and countries that have not given up will have a strong economic lead!

fwiw, it's not easy engagement bait like assessing who's speaking at the cabinet retreat, but people who care about Canadian economic policy should be paying more attention to this: www.pm.gc.ca/en/news/back...
