This blog is partly devoted to the sharing of my learning of the English language (my well mastered mother tongue is Chinese and I am not an English teacher) and its *cultures*, partly to the current significant trends in Canada and in the world, and partly to my own random thoughts and little life. I am not religious, but I am somewhat interested in Christianity and Buddhism, among other personal interests. Welcome. And, have a good day.

How glorious RIM once had been. But lo, how low it has gone.
Last week, there's a protest by hundreds of professional scientists which skewered the federal government's funding cuts.
I guess that Harper just puts more focus on scientific and technological research projects which have more commercial values, against the backdrop of a perennially gloomy global economic climate.
All in all, to decide when to put more public financial resources into scientific research activities and when to put less is the job of the elected government and the democracy, the society, NOT the scientists, IMHO.

The maturation of global economy requires Western countries, including France and Japan, to adopt English as the ubiquitous language for business and higher education.
And that's happening, now.
Probably we'll see major changes on that aspect in Quebec as well in 5 - 10 years.

Well, I didn't know optometrists serve kind of like general doctors for the medical branch which deals with eyes.
Ophthalmologists should be referred to by them, more or less.
