More about the budget removal of funding for medical research in Canada

Hell, Upside Down: So Liberals Don't Support Stem Cell Research Eh?

While the Toronto Star regurgitates Liberal marketing saying "Liberals Put Tories on Probation" the headline in the Globe and Mail
today would indicate that the Liberals are either not watching Harper
closely enough or they agree with his anti-science idealogy. If not why
didn't they include funding stem cell research in their amendments:

The news spread like a virus through the research community yesterday
as the country's top scientists wondered whether the oversight was a
mistake. Genome Canada supports 33 major research projects in areas
such as genomics, agriculture and cancer stem cells with operating
grants of $10-million a year. The projects employ more than 2,000
people. By comparison, medical research grants from the federally
funded Canadian Institutes of Health Research run in the
$100,000-a-year range.

It also remains unclear how the budget
will affect the funding abilities of Ottawa's three government
research-granting agencies, including the CIHR.
