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

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...

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.

171. Stop showing disdain for federal scientists, including with cuts, layoffs, and this slap in the face. www.nationalobserver.com/2026/07/31/n...

Such an idiotic decision by the Canadian government to close these sites. Then to have the gall to ask those fired for advice. #Canada #Agriculture #Science www.nationalobserver.com/2026/07/31/n...

Fired and then asked for advice? Wow: Feds ask fired scientists to advise on Canada's future research www.nationalobserver.com/2026/07/31/n...

Move fast with those cuts and deals, eh? 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 www.nationalobserver.com/2026/07/31/n...

“Senior officials didn't know how the cuts would impact Canada's agricultural research until after announcing them.” Make believe leaders who will cut your job to meet corporate objectives without a clue as to what you do . Leaders? No Puppets? Yes /2 www.nationalobserver.com/2026/07/31/n...

"Scientists should be heard before their programs are dismantled and their positions disappear, not asked afterward to help write the next chapter," www.nationalobserver.com/2026/07/31/n...
