It is a little weird to me countries aren’t more aggressively, formally trying to take advantage of the U.S. science brain drain. Once in a lifetime opportunity to buy low on Non-Dumbass Americans with PhDs who just wanna look into microscopes and quietly cure ass cancer as our country eats shit.

with the Canadian research ecosystem if projects can directly help Canadians or be commercialized here. Where the U.S. is squeezing out researchers, we will look to welcome research here in Canada."

We used to build things in this country. Over our history, we have shown that we can come together to build big infrastructure that ties us more closely together, from a railway that spanned this coun...
Okay, I’ll be really interested to see how this pans out. Because my impression from my colleagues in Canada is that they’re struggling to get funding as it is. So if the government is about to put a whole ton of money into higher education that would be great but I’m sceptical.
I think the key word here might be 'commercialized'.
Right. They’ll be looking at scientists and researchers who have patents in the pipeline. I seriously doubt any other researchers will get a look in.
My husband is an entomologist and that field already is struggling for research money in Canada. We just moved back from him getting his PhD there. They’ll likely pull for doctors and medical research or as you said patent holders that will bring money with them
Carney has a plan. It was not JTs plan. I suspect the investment in tech and ai might get seriously increased in the next three years.
They may want to come here, but then realize what the pay is and decide to stay in the states
Maybe - i could have worked in NYC - my husband as well. Huge money at the time. I brought out my spreadsheet - rent, private school for kids, healthcare, etc it worked out to be the same living in Canada (well not exactly but closer than you’d think)
May 5, 2025 01:22We were in Sask for 6 years and it was more expensive than most cities we have lived in and now a more expensive New England state.Comparing just NYC to the whole rest of the country isn’t really comparable.Rural CAD midsized cities are as expensive as most other US cities though from our experience
and it’s dark six months of the year. But i don’t worry when i send my kids to school, and we don’t have slums. The kind of poverty you have we just don’t have here. People have no idea that “cheap” places to live means half your country can’t read or eat.
Do say you don’t have “slums” is actually laughable and tells me you’ve never EVER left your gated community. I lived there 6 years and saw plenty of slums, plenty of crime, plenty of gang issues, and plenty of destitute poverty. Maybe step out of your gated community once in a while.
