I'm not sure what this means. $1 billion is being spent to fund research that don't reflect what matters most to Canadians? Like what? As for Alberta expanding policing, I never did understand why other provinces didn't have provincial police forces, like Ontario has. Maybe, if the provinces had provincial forces that deal with the situations that are specific more to the individual provinces and territory, we'd have more control. One thing to keep in mind though is that it would be up to the province to fund it, and it would still have to be an independent force, not controlled by the government; but whose purpose it is to maintain law and order in the province without prejudice at the same time.
