- richjdsmith 9y agoI don't know why exactly, but that really pisses me off. I'd love to see the Feds go after them for that money, but I doubt Mr. Dress-up or his government would ever do such a thing.
- 52-6F-62 9y agoI don't know how that suddenly became about slagging Trudeau, but the best bet would be to start with contacting the Minister of Innovation, Science, and Economic Development—Navdeep Bains—or the Minister of Science—Kirsty Duncan—or the Industrial Research Assistance Program (IRAP) directly. Public scrutiny is precisely why the NRC is publishing immutable records of funding and grant allocations. The NRC claims to take their integrity in their work very seriously. Having been (co)founded by John Fields, they certainly have a reputation to maintain. https://www.nrc-cnrc.gc.ca/eng/about/ministers/index.html https://www.nrc-cnrc.gc.ca/eng/about/ministers/index.html https://www.nrc-cnrc.gc.ca/eng/irap/contact/index.html https://www.nrc-cnrc.gc.ca/eng/irap/contact/index.html
- hobofan 9y agoWhy should they go after that money? Those look like normal startup grants to stimulate the local economy, and given that the TunnelBear team will keep expanding this seems to have worked just fine. Sure, you might not like the ethics of their behaviour, but that has nothing to do with those grants.
