Dismantling Canada's Institutions #3

Scotian wrote an excellent post on this government's lack of support for Canada's space robotic engineering high tech sector http://saundrie.blogspot.com/ in December of last year, and while the sector is not an institution in the strict sense of the word, it seems clear from this decision that Mr. H. does not belief in government supporting research and development. As Scotian points out, Canada's achievements in this sector are part of how Canadians see themselves on the world stage and so I include it as another example of Mr. H. dismantling, not building.

As someone in the field of research I think I can safely say that not a single party (Liberals, Tories, NDP,etc.. ) have shown an iota of interest in advancing our R&D industry.

There have been some feel-good stuff but our research facilities have been underfunded for decades and thats a sad fact. As such, I find it highly aggravating to see any trying to portray this as partisan issue.
