Canada, Australia, and India just formed a new trilateral partnership on technology and innovation.
We’ll work more closely together on clean energy, critical minerals, and AI to unlock new research, more opportunities, and greater prosperity.

So many “new” ideas are old repackaged ones using updated terms based on current technologies.
Either folks need to read papers from > 5yrs ago. Or they need to cite them so readers & the public see the slow plodding incremental nature of discovery science.

Is Canada finally taking science and the economy seriously?
Our science and innovation policy track record over the past 2, 10 and 30 years leaves me skeptical.

Harrison’s hind ankle has mended but old habits die hard & we caught him licking it the sec we removed the cone.
Here he is hugging his turtle blissfully during a cone-free moment as we try to train him to leave his ankle alone. Any advice is welcome!

UPDATE: Canada has announced that it has lost its measles elimination status.
This is a direct result of the increase in anti-vax disinformation, which has caused large, sustained outbreaks in the country over the last year.
