You gotta love this Canadian patriotism, even as a non-Canadian. It's so proud and enthusiastic but also so characteristically non-threatening...

Why doesn't this video have more views! a great summary of Canada and space. With the interest in space so high thanks to new and interesting companies like SpaceX Canada should be encouraging this sort of science and entrepreneurship not defunding it!

I remember I used to believe in this country. Now it seems depressing. We used to invest far more into science, industry, and technology as well as developing our natural resources. Now we cannot even build a pipeline and everything here seems to be owned by the United States and China. It feels like I live in a colony rather than a nation.
