Don't some Canadians speak French?

Editor's note: What is France's major malfunction as Romania just told Macron to "go pound sand?" We see the French "demanding to give them back the Statue of Liberty" and now Macron offering American climate "scientists" €1.5 million each to move to France. Climate change and global warming are a proven fraud. What else can be said on the subject? Even though the individual in Canada won't be hit with a consumer carbon tax, and just like in France, Canada is going after corporations on carbon taxes and net zero. America isn't going experience a "brain drain" of scientists to France. America is going to experience a "drain of brains" that aren't being used. Good riddance. This will also free up young Americans to actually do science and not activism. Here is Canada's unelected PM Carney discussing a carbon tax and net zero for Canada. All based on fraudulent activist "science."

US Brain Drain: Climate Scientist Refugees are Fleeing to France?

Oh no – what if all the climate alarmists leave and never come back?

'We Are Witnessing a New Brain Drain' as Scientists Flee America for France

A French university says it's providing safe harbor to American scientists from Yale, Stanford, NASA, and the NIH.

By Matthew Gault | March 13, 2025

Aix Marseille University in France has said that 40 U.S. scientists have "answered the call" it put out earlier this month offering safe harbor to fleeing Americans. Scientists in the U.S. under the Trump regime are facing a sudden loss of funding and stricter regulations on speech and areas of research. According to Aix Marseille University President Eric Berton, some of them will find a home in France.

In a press release about its "Safe Space for Science" initiative, the University announced that the 40 U.S. scientists included people from Stanford, Yale, NASA, the National Institute for Health, and George Washington University. It said that most of their research topics were related to "health (LGBT+ medicine, epidemiology, infectious diseases, inequalities, immunology, etc.), the environment and climate change…as well as the humanities and social sciences…and astrophysics."

Aix Marseille University put out the call to American scientists on March 7 as news continued that the Trump administration was pulling funding from many universities and putting heavy restrictions on research topics. "We are witnessing a new brain drain," Benton said on March 12. "We will do everything possible to help as many scientists as possible continue their research. But we cannot meet all the requests alone." He then called on the French and European governments for help.

This isn't the first time France has pulled a stunt like this:

French President Offers US Climate Scientists €1.5 Million Each to Move to France

Despite generous French offers of financial support, last time France offered safe haven, many climate scientists stayed in the USA.

Perhaps this time things will be different, and all the alarmist climate scientists will move to Europe.

To be fair, France has a well funded academic system, but that is pretty much where it stops. There is a reason France isn't home to startups like Google and Facebook. High taxes and excessive regulations in France deter US style entrepreneurs and startups.

France makes no secret of their hostility towards large corporations. France and other European nations regularly slam "Anglo-Saxon capitalism", by which they mean laissez-faire capitalism – a French position which is rather sad and historically inaccurate.
