Nice comparison of Lib science cuts in 90s with cuts today
April 30th, 2009
The Conservatives have been trying to turn the tables on Liberal critics by bringing up the cuts made to research budgets when the Liberals were in power and fighting the deficits of the 1990s. DontLeaveCanadaBehind has provided an insightful comparison between then and now. The two main differences they point out are the timing (stimulus spending vs. deficit fighting, Cdn cuts vs. US increases) and ideology. I was tempted to simply cut and paste their short but insightful analsysis here, but instead encourage you to go and read it there.
