What did that person actually do though?

From the article: . In her new position as Ontario’s first chief scientist she was expected to brief decision makers, promote the province’s scientific research both domestically and internationally, and craft a research agenda for the Ontario government.

Honestly I don't know who the person is but it smacks of a patronage appointment.

Low hanging fruit for Ford.

Wouldn't the first course of action then be finding out who that person is? I wouldn't know "x" but "y" tend to be a I just want to say “y"statement.

Also from the article . . .

Ms. Shoichet is a biomedical engineer who is an expert in the study of drug delivery and tissue regeneration.

So, Dime-bag Doug either saw her as part of the competition, or a narc.

Not that kind of drug delivery

The others seem more 'political', the Chief Scientist would seem more non-political. This from Star:

Doug Ford fires privatization czar, chief investment officer and chief scientist

Sounds green to me.

Don’t forget what he said about the City of Toronto Chief Medical Officer when he was a councillor. This is potentially a variant of the same.

So very true. Seen this micromanagement in Toronto? Who needs experts when you have the "good facts" of our Glorious Leader?

Sounds like skills that already exist within the Ministry of Health.

Yeah, but did you actually read what she was hired for?

From the article: . In her new position as Ontario’s first chief scientist she was expected to brief decision makers, promote the province’s scientific research both domestically and internationally, and craft a research agenda for the Ontario government.

 

[narduch]

The Star piece says the position will be filled.

Just replacing one crony with another.

He will hire the Canadian version of Scott Pruitt. Someone who is anti-science and probably denies climate change. That is just my guess.
