Well said David. Ian cared deeply about civil service as a calling.He embodied what all of us would want in a perfect civil servant: intelligence, humanity,humility,the highest integrity,quiet humour and he never took himself seriously.A huge loss for his family and his country.

Deeply saddened by the passing today of the Hon. Ian Shugart. A noble soul & superb public servant with an encyclopedic mind & wickedly dry sense of humour. A great loss to Canada given his potential future contributions. Condolences to all who loved this uncommonly good man.

Many thanks @spaikin for your kind words.How much world has changed since I was on your show; COVID then great vaccines in record time;climate change no longer something that affects others,rise of populism;we need science and values of science today more than ever

Kudos to Alan Bernstein of @CIFAR_News for his promotion within the Order of Canada to Companion, the highest level. He was on @TheAgenda some years ago talking about the importance of doubt in science: tvo.org/video/alan-bernstein… #science #doubt

Wise words Blake. To which I would add that we( ie homo saps) have bad record of correctly anticipating/predicting impacts of new technologies.

4/4) To be clear, I'm not saying there is *zero* risk. Rather, the risk is so hypothetical that it should be on the back-burner relative to more pressing issues.
In other words, it shouldn't be a *priority*, as the statement says.
We have more important stuff to worry about.

Wonderful to see girls and women in the choir at Coronation! I was one of them once and cherish this. Governments everywhere must recognise the contribution of glorious music to the well-being of all. The music made today’s celebration.

Affordable housing is a key priority, but that’s already planned for the parking lots at Ontario Place - let’s provide housing on the lots and keep the Science Centre where it is.

The whole scheme appears to be written on the back of a napkin, with no consideration for the impacted communities. Nobody wants this, except for Doug Ford, politicians who support him and the people he’s making very rich.
