About This Blog

Dare to Dissemble is my little online ranting place, where I air my thoughts about the ridiculous state of affairs at the University of Alberta--a formerly strong public institution with tons of potential being driven into the ground by inept governance and irresponsible government funding policies. Comments are welcome, but not expected. Like most blogs on the internet, this one languishes in obscurity and is read for the most part by its proprietor.

Here We Go Again

This article indicates that the Harper government is planning major federal budget cuts.  Given the general anti-science stance of the PMO, I think we can safely assume that NSERC and CIHR will take a hit, during a period when researchers are already facing reduced grant sizes AND lower success rates.  It would be hard to manage a better job of driving Canada out of the research business than these clowns are doing.
