Just one of many under the search for "harper cuts science funding"

Canada ranks 19th in the world according to this site based on %GDP

http://www.nationsencyclopedia.com/WorldStats/WDI-tech-research-expenditure.html

Japan, Finland and Sweden are almost double of Canada's expenditures.

Of course, when I see North Korea as high as they are and Israel at the top, I wonder how much of some of the research in those places as well as the USA is in defense research.

BTW, it is strange to see any information coming from North Korea .... maybe a PR stunt.

That's cheap! Our city has spent 2 million on a police station "dream". We haven't turned any soil yet!

What they should do is, instead of destroying all the pot from the busts, they should sell it as medicinal pot and use that to build our cop shop.
