At the start of February, I wrote a blog post or two about the Conservative government's disdain for science. Now Nature, one of the most highly respected scientific journals on the planet, has just criticized them for their anti-science policy in one of their editorials.

When the government acts this way towards researchers, offering half-measures for grad students won't solve the problem. "We need people who are well educated and we need to ensure we have enough of them to be competitive." Exactly. And if you want to keep them in Canada after they have graduated, you'd better stop censoring them at every turn.
