Pre-Trudeau, First Nations communities suffered under a 2% annual funding increase cap. That cap didn't keep pace with population growth. Under Carney's Liberals, it's not just a 2% increase cap - it's a ZERO percent cap, a freeze. Literally worse than Harper. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

A poll from the journal Nature found that 75% of researchers in the U.S. are considering leaving the country. That includes a man whoβs been dubbed the "Mozart of Math." (This PBS story on the scientific brain drain is heartbreaking & ominous for medicine, imo.) www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLvO...
