what is an "innovation budget"?

and, why do we have an "innovation minister", anyways?

again: these are just buzzwords. this government doesn't care about governing, it's just focused on constant campaigning. they are at best contradictions in terms and at worst incoherent drivel. and, it's the same kind of absurd language you heard coming from harper.

i still don't know if harper's "economic action plan" was a four-year plan for the economy, or a five-year plan for the economy. nobody ever answered that question for me...

i'll state the obvious: innovation is something that happens by accident. you don't plan for it. you don't budget around it. rather, you adjust to it when you see it. and, if there's a way for a government to create an "innovation budget", it is by funding research blindly, and not trying to micromanage where it ends up.
