The $2.5B NIH increase is 2.8X the entire CIHR budget. Total NIH ($47.5B) is 54X the entire CIHR budget - 6X per capita. Canada needs to double tri-council budgets now and build a long term strategy for systematic investments.

One country sits alone in the bottom right quadrant due to its much higher spending and below-average life expectancy.

A senior journalist at CTV told the Star that Melling’s move to VP of Shared Services should not be seen as a demotion.
“Shared Services in the Bell empire is a huge division, way bigger than the news department,” the journalist said.

After independent review in wake of Lisa LaFlamme’s ouster, CTV’s Michael Melling is out of news operations https://www.thestar.com/news/canada/2022/12/19/after-independent-review-in-wake-of-lisa-laflammes-ouster-ctvs-michael-melling-is-out-of-news-operations.html?source=newsletter via @TorontoStar

It’s a slap on the wrist for Melling, does nothing for the reputation of @CTVNews, and it does not provide justice for Lisa LaFlamme.
Michael Melling out as head of CTV News following Lisa LaFlamme furor but will continue on as a Bell executive. https://www.cbc.ca/news/entertainment/michael-melling-out-ctv-news-laflamme-1.6691180
