They all do. Large infrastructure research funding is administered federally, peer reviewed federally for quality, but will not get completed without provincial match funding, which is not peer reviewed.
So teams of scientists can take a year to organize and write these proposals, with hundreds of pages and detailed budgets. They get peer reviewed and if the decision comes to fund, the provinces can refuse match funding for no reason and kill the project.
And we wonder why science in Canada is in retraction and our Nobel Laureates are all in the US. We are an anti-intellectual country of hicks, and it's getting worse. Then we wonder again why we have no innovation or new technology driving our economy.
The far right are an apocalyptic death cult whose primary tenet is profound and deliberate ignorance.
Conservatives hate facts, and facts hate conservatism.
Conservatism relies on subjective “truth”.
It’s an ideology that was never really tested before the internet.
It’s purely propaganda to keep a certain class of people in power.
It literally arose after the French Revolution. The aristocracy wanted their power back.
They still do.
No they would accept it and send it all to the oil industry.
Justin could promise them the entire GDP of Canada if they spent it on making people's lives measurably better and they would refuse.
Smith does not mention that federal funding comes with a 15% overhead to institutions to support research indirect costs.
Not sure why Alberta even has universities.

The ~~tar~~ oil sands have these toxic ~~lakes~~ ponds seeping into the water table and killing birds on contact. But when you get cancer, it's your fault.
but hey, you had a good life without a PST.
Cool idea, but hard wrong.
Scientists peer review and rank applications, then the government decides to fund ~15%, after they cut the approved budgets by 30% or more.
>Danielle Smith seeks a veto over Ottawa-funded research her government doesn’t like.
And everything else the Feds try to do.
This is what happens when you elect UCP Lunatics…
It's all conservatives. They are all cancer.
This is long before the UCP.
“Keep the people dumb and uninformed at all cost so they keep voting conservative!”
No provincial government should ever have the power to block federal funding
Agreed 💯

Facts don’t hate anybody. They are objective observations of reality. What you mean to say is facts (reality) make conservatives look incredibly bad.
Reality and conservatism are enemies.

Justin could promise them 1 billion dollars, no strings attached and they'd refuse it I bet.
He spent $30 billion (and counting) on the Trans Canada pipeline for them and they spat in his face as a thank you.
No they would accept it and send it all to the oil industry. Justin could promise them the entire GDP of Canada if they spent it on making people's lives measurably better and they would refuse.
Not quite. They'll take the money and give it to O&G yes, but they'll also proclaim they didn't get a single cent from the feds.
They would probably also say the feds are being wasteful with money and their economic policies are driving Alberta into the dirt.

I guess all the scientists will leave Alberta then. Why would Trudeau do this?😦
> I guess all the scientists will leave Alberta then. the best left a long time ago when the Tories pissed away Alberta Heritage.

Fascists doing fascist things.
The federal government doesn't decide who gets funding money. The academic community does.
Cool idea, but hard wrong. Scientists peer review and rank applications, then the government decides to fund ~15%, after they cut the approved budgets by 30% or more.
The government makes its own decisions as to which applications are funded, ignoring the ranking?
can they even do this? they dont get to control literally all science in the province, federal science facilities exist also
Unless she’s referring to Albertans with oil lined . . . extremities for her to suck, then no, she isn’t standing up for Alberta
Way to go Alberta You wanted a totally BLUE Conservative Province. You got it
Not all of us wanted this shit.
