Well said David. Ian cared deeply about civil service as a calling.He embodied what all of us would want in a perfect civil servant: intelligence, humanity,humility,the highest integrity,quiet humour and he never took himself seriously.A huge loss for his family and his country.

Deeply saddened by the passing today of the Hon. Ian Shugart. A noble soul & superb public servant with an encyclopedic mind & wickedly dry sense of humour. A great loss to Canada given his potential future contributions. Condolences to all who loved this uncommonly good man.

Many thanks @spaikin for your kind words.How much world has changed since I was on your show; COVID then great vaccines in record time;climate change no longer something that affects others,rise of populism;we need science and values of science today more than ever

Kudos to Alan Bernstein of @CIFAR_News for his promotion within the Order of Canada to Companion, the highest level. He was on @TheAgenda some years ago talking about the importance of doubt in science: tvo.org/video/alan-ber… #science #doubt

Every 20th-century symphony is to be consigned to eternal oblivion except for four that YOU choose. Which ones do you save? Me: 1. Mahler 7 2. Nielsen 5 3. Vaughan Williams 9 4. Shostakovich 13

Wise words Blake. To which I would add that we( ie homo saps) have bad record of correctly anticipating/predicting impacts of new technologies.
Blake Richards@tyrell_turing

4/4) To be clear, I'm not saying there is *zero* risk. Rather, the risk is so hypothetical that it should be on the back-burner relative to more pressing issues. In other words, it shouldn't be a *priority*, as the statement says. We have more important stuff to worry about.

@picardonhealth @SteinJanice @GlobeDebate Op-ed by @SteinJanice and myself today on critical importance of science to Canada. Our prosperity, health and capacity to contribute to global effort against climate change and next pandemic all depend on strength of our S and T. No time for more words. It’s time for action.

Wonderful to see girls and women in the choir at Coronation! I was one of them once and cherish this. Governments everywhere must recognise the contribution of glorious music to the well-being of all. The music made today’s celebration.
