If I were Canadian PM I would immediately:
1. Create a new $15B science fund
2. Offer any credentialed US scientist funding for lab startup and replacement of NIH grants if they move to Canada
3. Immediate permanent residency
4. Citizenship after 2 years
Overnight a science superpower

This is bullshit. Don’t be fooled by TikTok going “dark” for one day. The Biden administration said they’d defer enforcement to Trump. This is just an act to make Trump look good when he “saves” TikTok on Monday.
