text: Kudos to Kulie Payette for what she said about the need to follow science and fact over superstition.  I encourage her to make scientific literacy a pillar of her tenure as GG.   Making sure good science is available to and understood by the average person will help Canadians make better choices, and help define Canada’s success in the world.   However, Payette does perhaps need to do some work on how she says these things.  
  Promoting science does not have to be equivalent to bashing religion.  There are many excellent Christian scientists, engineers, mathematicians and doctors out there, who will attest that one can reconcile faith and science.
