– commits US$161-billion to spur private-sector investment in clean electricity technologies such as solar and wind, and US$37-billion to help manufacturers switch to green energy.
Our response must address three key features. First, Canada’s innovation policy must embrace the entire innovation ecosystem, from fundamental and mission-driven research to new products and companies. Second, that policy should differentiate, not conflate, the distinct but complementary roles of the public and private sectors. Third, a comprehensive research and innovation strategy should address increased business competitiveness, public priorities and global threats.
And research starts with people. The bedrock of any country’s successful innovation strategy is the development of scientific talent and support for fundamental research. Hence, Canada’s investments in research funding, research infrastructure, and graduate and postdoctoral fellowships must keep pace with other countries. The CHIPS and Science Act doubles the annual budget of the U.S.’s National Science Foundation to US$19-billion within five years.
We’re tapped out. Too busy funding crony “anti-hate” consultants

Nah - our industry is selling our houses to foreigners.
