merrilyMy country's federal Minister of Science didn't want to answer a question about whether he believed in evolution.
Excerpt:
Canada's science minister, the man at the centre of the controversy over federal funding cuts to researchers, won't say if he believes in evolution.
“I'm not going to answer that question. I am a Christian, and I don't think anybody asking a question about my religion is appropriate,” Gary Goodyear, the federal Minister of State for Science and Technology, said in an interview with The Globe and Mail.
A funding crunch, exacerbated by cuts in the January budget, has left many senior researchers across the county scrambling to find the money to continue their experiments.
What the hell, Canada? WHAT THE HELL.
I didn't vote for the Harper government, that's all I have to say.
