Being part of a federal research institution, I can't help but wonder where the funding came from for this. In a time where a majority research departments are experiencing fairly severe reductions, Parks Canada somehow had the funds to deploy a fairly lengthy field expedition with some very fancy toys.
I have similar sentiments as Homestead. Major press conferences, huge news stories, which is in direct contrast to nearly all other science happening now in Canada.
I'm happy for the discovery, but certain aspects don't pass the smell test.
