A case of Mini-me DOGE. The Carney government has been firing scientists and researchers. Now they are asking some of them to come back to help figure things out. We risk a great deal in losing research expertise in agriculture, climate, fisheries/oceans. www.nationalobserver.com/2026/07/31/n...

Feds ask fired scientists to advise on Canada's future research

Officials at Canada's agriculture department are asking scientists who were abruptly fired earlier this year to help the agency decide its future research goals, Canada's National Observer has found.

Two former advisors to the federal government called out Prime Minister Mark Carney for slashing environmental rules and ignoring experts in climate science and policy. thenarwhal.ca/carney-canad...

Carney is ‘shredding’ environmental rules, ‘misleading’ the public: experts | The Narwhal

The government shut out its own climate science and policy advisors, they say, while gutting Canada’s environmental protections in favour of oil and gas

Decisions about roads, mines, ports, railways, and energy infrastructure shapes ecosystems for decades. In many cases, negative impacts are difficult --or impossible-- to reverse. Public consultation on the federal government's proposed major-project reforms closes June 7. Make your voice heard!!!

Speak up for nature in Canada. Oppose weakening environmental protections in fast-tracked projects. Public consultation open until June 7.

The federal government's plan to fast-track major infrastructure development is at odds with its new $3.8-billion strategy to protect 30% of Canada's lands & waters by 2030, say UBC, UVic & U of T researchers. ca.news.yahoo.com/canada-major...

Canada’s ‘major projects’ should not come at the cost of the environment

Impact assessments prevent harm before it occurs. Circumventing the process before we understand the risks is misguided and a gamble with our collective future.

🧵 Public science in the US has taken some heavy hits over the last year, but the White House OMB is proposing a series of changes that will result in a TKO for science as we know it unless we fight back. Here's what's happening, and why it matters. 1/n

The "regulations vs. the economy" framing is doing a lot of work in Ottawa right now. Friday's fast-track proposal would compress federal reviews to a year and let the Cabinet exempt projects from any environmental law. WCEL's reaction is worth a read. www.wcel.org/media-releas... #Canada

In its economic update, the Canadian govt expanded its Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage investment tax credit to include "enhanced oil recovery": pumping carbon dioxide in the ground to increase oil extraction. This is deeply cynical for two reasons... (1/3)

I was going to write today, but until we know more, I don't have any new words for this moment. What I will say is that if you are reeling, and you know you want to be part of making things better, Mariame Kaba and I wrote a book for you. I hope it helps.

For non-scientists, LTER programs run for decades, so scientists can learn how ecosystems change over time. These programs cover ecology, evolution, systems biology, and it includes animals, plants, even microbes, and more. We learned so much about how our world works with LTERs. This sucks :(

Mike Kaspari@mikekaspari.bsky.social · 4mo ago

NSF LTER program “archived”. LTER=“Long Term Ecological Research”. This program has been incredibly successful, incredibly frugal for what they accomplish, and…of course…targeted by evil know-nothings. My heart is breaking.
