re: #265 funky chicken

Yes, it’s troubling. It bothers me more that the conservative head of the government thought this guy was a good choice for the post. If he is just an administrative guy and isn’t going to micromanage which projects are approved, it’s not worth forcing him out, perhaps.

It’s very frustrating, because Harper is doing a good job otherwise.

He’s zeroed out the funding for basic genome research. I see him as being hostile to bioscience, because he rejects evolution, and bioscience’s entire framework is evolutionary.
