    What we need is auditing and enforcement of our already comprehensive ethical restrictions on scientific research across fields. He’s using this one instance of gross negligence and misconduct to attack science in general, rather than do the proper job of enforcing the regulatory apparatus. Why is he doing this? Attention and optics to distract from his massive failures and bad ideas and investments, and also his side dealing which is getting harder and harder to ignore.

        That’s frankly embarrassing for the most populated province, and is also a huge spotlight on the ‘leadership’ refusing to invest in the growth of the industry. I hope we make it past businessmen politicians and make it to science-based leaders.
