Institutionalizing politicized science

If you have opinions about program officers being political appointees please read & make a public comment (link at end of article).

Canadians abroad, don't forget we can now vote in federal elections!

If you aren't on the international voter registry yet, there's an extra step to getting your ballot. It's quick and easy but do it ASAP so you get your ballot in time!

I love telling my American friends about the first time I voted in Canada. I got a 3 x 5 slip of paper with five names on it, I checked a box, put the voting slip in a cardboard box through a hole cut out at the top.
