I think it's fairly good proof of the religious nature of climate change that anything and everything somehow must relate to it in some grand conspiracy. Sorry

I think it's fairly good proof of the religious nature of climate change that anything and everything somehow must relate to it in some grand conspiracy. Sorry for being hostile, but your claim is simply ridiculous.
The NRC already was a completely captive vehicle of the government. With this change they're essentially trying to make it more self-sustaining by moving it to contract research, which obviously includes a lot of renewable energy research, health sciences, etc.
Such a change (to funded "partner" research) is short-sighted and foolish, but it's all about dollars. It isn't a "veiled attempt" at anything, yet is an obvious, open attempt at reducing costs.
- pyre 13y agoThe current government in Canada has been pretty hostile towards science. Do a couple of searches on how government scientists are no longer allowed to talk to the public in Canada.
- corresation 13y agoI'm very aware of the common narrative. In Canadian politics, the left acts very much like the right does in the US -- hysterical stretches of the truth that would make Nixon blush, so long as it achieves the goal. There is zero ability to have a rational discussion about the Conservative party with these people because everything has to fit in laughably binary buckets, every actor turned into a caricature. It is embarrassing.
- pyre 13y agoDepends on what you mean by the 'left.' The NDP? The Liberals? The Green Party?
