Just heard on the radio today that Rafick-Pierre Sékaly has packed up and moved his team to Florida mainly because of cutbacks in scientific funding that Flahtulence and Harpy implemented. And this is at a time when the researcher is gaining good ground in fighting HIV and AIDS.
So Harpy's turning out to be another Diefenbaker.
Let me see; ChRETIeN, Bullroney, aPAULing Martin, and now Harpy don't seem to like scientific research very much. Iggy apparently doesn't either as he seems to prefer spending gobs of money on people that aren't workjing rather than spending it on something that might get them to work.
Not one of Canada's best moments, I'd say.
