Science and technology in Canada

Science and technology in Canada consists of three distinct but closely related phenomena:

  • the diffusion of technology in Canada
  • scientific research in Canada
  • innovation, invention and industrial research in Canada
The Canadian-built space station robotic arm (right), referred to as Canadarm2, transferred its launch cradle over to Endeavour's Canadian-built robotic arm, referred to as Canadarm

In 2018, Canada spent approximately C$34.5 billion on domestic research and development, of which around $2 billion was spent directly by the federal government in-house and an additional $5.7 billion was provided by provincial and federal sources in the form of grants.[1]

gollark: slow + ratio + Send + Sync + Clone + Copy + 'static
gollark: Onto more important things: functional programming - do it, or do it continuously all the time?
gollark: This entire argument is ridiculous. Just store ASTs on disk and have your editor convert to your preferred syntax on-demand.
gollark: The great thing about representing functions as an infinite set of ordered pairs is that defining inverse functions is really easy.
gollark: Functions are just monoids in the category of endofunctors.
