The US pullback from science research funding is going to leave a lot of big gaps to fill. It's bad for science globally. Hopefully Canada can benefit by attracting more experts who would otherwise have gone to the US, but even if we do, it's not going to change the fact that defunding science is ultimately bad for everyone in the long-term.
