Everything they learned trying new and different techniques have given researchers many new tools in their fight against other viruses. Investment in science does not always have the immediate and obvious desired outcomes but we learn a lot from our failures.

Nova Scotia became the first province or state in North America to pass such legislation when the act was passed unanimously in April 2019. Now, we need our gov't to do that too.

A Miami Grand Prix has been in the pipeline for a number of years following the acquisition of the sport by an American conglomerate, Liberty Media, in 2017.
