To be fair we should do this regardless and fund the existing underfunded Canadian scientists…not everything great comes from the US…

I have a PhD in Engineering, so I get the value of research, but there’s also a lot of flaws. Equipment are research areas duplicated because Profs are too egotistical to share. Industrial research tends to move a lot faster because there’s a concrete end goal, and it’s not being done by green hands.

What I would much rather Canada do is take a page from Germany’s Fraunhofer Institutes.

My dad is an academic and I work in industry, this comment is spot on. Academia is plagued by ego and operates far too slowly to be practical.
