Legendary pharma industry commentator Derek Lowe says "the Trump administration is trying to destroy federally-funded research in the US as we know it and replace it with cronyism and worse."

And who's not speaking up about it? The CEOs of major biopharma companies.

Lowe calls this "odd," apparently using the word the same way I do. (It translates to "batshit crazy.")

He points out:
"(1) the great majority of the employees at these companies came through that exact funding system at some point in their careers, and (2) since the industry depends on the basic science research funded this way to make its own advances in applied and clinical applications."

He has an explanation, though. He thinks they're all scared.

About to take off on my final flight of the season. Can’t believe I still get to do this job 26 years later. Thanks everyone for reading/listening/watching on what was an incredible Canadiens season. More to come in the coming days and weeks. But no more flights.

[Canadiens Montréal @CanadiensMTL]

Un parcours incroyable avec les partisans les plus passionnés qui soient. Merci d’avoir été derrière nous tout au long de l’année 🫶

An incredible run with the most passionate fans in the game. Thank you for being with us every step of the way

Friends at La Spada, fantastic Italian restaurant in St. Henri, were burgled overnight, with an intruder causing thousands of dollars worth of damage. It disgusts me that a small business dedicated purely to pleasing the masses of the city would be targeted. If you’re going for dinner this week and want a fantastic meal/ experience, go support them!!

[Paul Bissonnette @BizNasty2point0]

Making these guys play 82 games in an Olympic year is a fucking joke. Guy’s are getting injured every game. 76 games should be the number. 4 games with everyone in your conference and 1 game with teams in the other conference. Go back to 1-8 seeding in those years because it’s the way it should be anyway but at least we get the every 4 years.

Thoughts on Team Canada at World Juniors:

There's been a lot of discourse today about Canada's performance after bowing out to Czechia again. I've read a lot about roster construction, team toughness, how players were used during the tournament, and other things related to the team's inability to get the job done.

These things may have been an issue, but reality is the problem runs way deeper.

Here is the biggest thing that people aren't talking about:

Canada has WAY fewer youth boys playing hockey than it did a decade ago.

Looking at Hockey Canada registration and membership data, it's mind-boggling to see the numbers.

And the numbers in the biggest provinces (Ontario and Quebec) are especially egregious.

So why is this happening? Hockey is Canada's sport. It shouldn't be like this.

It's what we hear every day from families all over North America:

Costs are too high. It's professionalized at too young of an age. The stress of the youth hockey experience is too much for kids and families.

Community programs have been replaced by for-profit entities leading to higher costs and more pressure. Development has been replaced by super teams and rogue/outlaw leagues outside of Hockey Canada even before kids are 8 years old. At the older ages, hockey academies have become what families believe is the only way their kids will make it - shelling out INSANE amounts of money to send their kids to do so.

Ontario just got rid of residency rules which will only lead to less accountability and more club-hopping than there already was in the nation's craziest and biggest youth hockey market.

The reason why Canada was the hockey superpower for so long is because it was part of the fabric of the country. There was such a pride and passion for the game and what the game meant to the flag. There was such a sense of playing the game for something bigger than yourself.

Now rather than playing for the love of the game, hockey in Canada is like a job for many of these kids in the environment they're being put in. It's less about pride and passion and more about the path to making it. When in all honesty, it's the pride and passion for the game that is the biggest consistency in the kids that do end up making it.

If Canada wants to restore its hockey dominance, it better take a long look in the mirror at the grassroots and what is going on in youth hockey. If you have tens of thousands of fewer boys playing the game, you should probably look at that first. The bigger your pool of athletes, the more elite athletes you can develop.

"As many as possible, for as long as possible, in the best environment possible". That has to be the guiding principle.

There's a lot of great people in Canada doing incredible things for the game, but the system itself is fundamentally broken. If Hockey Canada is serious about getting back to the top, it has to start at the bottom.

I am in awe of our Canadian ladies. They're #2 in the World, yet they had to crowdfund to pay for their World Cup preparations and travel.

Today, they watched #1 New Zealand perform the Haka, then trampled them 34-19 in the World Cup semifinal. The Black Ferns had won 6 of the last 7 World Cups. Canada will now advance to the final for the first time, and these ladies did it ALL on their own. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

As a kid and a Canadiens fan, I grew up in awe of Ken Dryden. And when I actually got to know him and work with him, my admiration only deepened. His commitment to social justice, not just in theory but in practice, as exemplified by his early work on childcare, defined for many, including me, what constituted leadership through service. It was an honour to have known him, to have worked along side him as an MP, and to have thought of him as a friend. His positive impact on Canadians in so many different ways will endure.

On this day in 2016, The Tragically Hip gave their final concert. Performed in their hometown of Kingston, it aired live on CBC TV and radio, and streamed on the Internet.
The concert was watched by 12 million Canadians, one-third of the country.
