business certainly doesn't need more funding. unfair and stupid. period
about sshrc... it's a mixed bag and i think it's badly managed overall. first, there's a restriction on your how much you can make in non-SSHRC-academic-income when you accept. second, there is no practical, reporting obligation. you can change your topic, etc, after having accepted the money. your work, at the end of the day, does not need to be publishable/get published/go to conferences, etc. to what value is the pile of research at the end of the day if it is not made more public--- this is public money.
universities need to up grant money and scholarships instead of simply encouraging graduate students to go out for the almighty sshrc.
