Shall I compare thee to a slimy toad?
Who deals with scandal by throwing bodies on the road?
Tying science funding to profitability is like legislating that poems have to rhyme…you won't discover insulin, but you will produce a lot of dog shit. Wait a second - maybe that's how they invented Nickleback.
That's not how discovery works - but Stephen Harper hates science. He has no interest in confirming what he already knows - that he's an awful lonely man desperately clinging to evil as the only thing he's good at…
It doesn't let you discover insulin, free radicals, the Ricker curve, weather forecasting, plate tectonics, t cell receptors, the geometry of higher dimensions but whatever. It appeals to his base who think innovation works that way and it subsidizes his industrial cronies. Well played, french shower bag...
