Harper's budget removes medical research funding, thousands of jobs at risk

Peace, order and good government, eh?: Watching them "like hawks"

For the first time in nine years, Genome Canada, a
non-profit non-governmental funding organization, was not mentioned in
the federal budget and saw its annual cash injection from Ottawa -
$140-million last year - disappear.



Putting thousands of jobs at risk doesn't sound like good stimulus. And
pulling the rug out from under "some of the most promising medical
research" doesn't sound like policy calculated to make Canada stronger
coming out of the recession than it was going in.
