Disappointed that this story does not mention that the original "Enterprise" was built in St. Jean sur Richelieu in the 1770s before being stolen and re-christened by the Americans in the Revolutionary War.

In that sense it has *always* been a Canadian Enterprise.

Albeit in a different context, @shiribreznitz.bsky.social and I warned about the implications of higher education funding gaps a few years ago.

Cutting post-secondary budgets during COVID a bad move
Governments keen to balance budgets are cutting post-secondary funding. But this will hurt the economy, innovation and research in the long-term.

In a better world, an opposition party would use Dan Breznitz’s brilliant, incisive essay in today’s Globe as their roadmap for comprehensive public-sector reform. Clear and correct on the problems and solutions. Essential reading for all Canadians.
