I think we need to have a national conversation about the meaning of the phrase "flooding the zone." I don't think it was meant to refer to simply a government doing a number of things in a short period of time or at a relatively brisk pace.

"Antisemitism breaks it. Islamophobia breaks it. Burning churches breaks it. Transphobia breaks it. The targeting of any Canadian for their faith, their origin, or their identity breaks it." This was a very good speech by PM Mark Carney. Strongly recommend reading or watching the whole thing.

You don't need to rebuild trust in science because trust in science is *quite high*. Supermajorities of Republican voters trust science! This is (partly) the right diagnosis, but for the wrong (nonexistent) problem. www.pewresearch.org/science/2024...
Vis from Pew Research Center showing distribution of responses to a "trust in science" question for US adults, Republican/lean Republican respondents, and Democratic/lean Democratic respondents, January 2019 through October 2024. In 2024, 66% of Republicans expressed "a great deal" or "a fair amount" of trust in science, compared to 88% of Democrats.
