Of course.

And of course we already have very high quality research and training. But we need more money to pay people (especially with inflation and everything else).

In fact I would even argue that Canada is very well positioned for this. 15 years ago the best Canadian students wanted to go to the US. Now many of them want to stay, and I am sure we can attract and retain some of the best US students. Hire young profs to train them.

If we want science ‘stars’, I sincerely think the best strategy is to grow them locally. Create assistant profs positions, with generous start up packages. Increase Discovery Grants, create generous programs for ECRs.

il est complètement à la ramasse votre ministre ou il fait semblant ?

Et puis “bande de nuls” rien que ça … la condescendance des gens … (malheureusement vue ailleurs, c’est juste pas forcément dit aussi clairement)

Wow, intervention hallucinante. C’est le ministre ? La déconnexion est totale.

True at McGill and at my former uni, where it led to major reorg that increased centralization (and the number of high level administrators). It's a major reason why my faculty and others have unionized at McGill. Info about the uni's finances is difficult to impossible to access. Nous is involved.
