Maybe the Canadian Feds ought to get out of the science-game altogether

Wouldn't that cause a glut of scientists on the open market, thus driving down their value?
Not to mention adding to the unemployment rate.

Cheaper to pay them EI.
On that note, seeing how the BBC likes to shoot its mouth off about Canada, maybe they can fund the research here in Canada... At least they'll have a good reason to whine.
I could agree to that. However, what's worse than spending money on them is to then muzzle them. After all, once we've paid for the research, we might as well benefit from it.
I don't disagree Machjo... I think that the bigger issue is the perennial intrusion of British media into Canada's affairs.
Maybe the BBC should concentrate on its own research sector and work on studying the cause of the dental problems in that nation
Getting valuable research done and benefiting from it are two different things. There are times
when governments don't like the results or they socially conflict with the agenda of a social
conservative government for example. In the past governments have used or should I say
miss used research and science for their own ends. The controversy over pot is an example of
governments distorting facts to gain a foothold to declare war on drugs and nonsense like that.
No I have never used the funny weed and I never intend to but there comes a time when the
government, the legislative body of society has to except facts as they are not as they like
them to be.
This would not be the first government to attempt to do this I am sure.

The best solution to this is a more accountable government, and that will only happen if there is enough media and public criticism of their actions and policy.
I wouldn't recommend privatization of science unless the profit of whichever sector actually coincides with the public good.
HaHaHa! Dreamer. The private sector is interested in only one thing and that is profits. You don't have to look any farther than Big Pharma to see that the public good is not even on the radar.

Anything that generates a profit is for the public good since profit is taxed to pay for all your freebies.
Well, not necessarily. Cigarettes make a profit too.
The taxes on the cigs far exceed the profits made by the tobacco companies.
