These sour dinosaur-shaped chewy candies are so sour they can’t possibly be laced with too much sugar. An oversized bag of deep-fried, calorie-rich, cheese-flavoured snacks are such a bright, finger-staining orange, they’ve got to have some nutritional content. Choose richly coloured foods, right?

Canadians tend to be a little possessive about the game of hockey. Many hockey fans north of the 49th are still rankled over the departure of National Hockey League franchises in Winnipeg and Quebec City in the 1990s for new homes in the United States. Just another example of those darn Americans taking something away from Canadians.
For a couple of years, they were even horning in on our unique brand of three-down football before the Canadian Football League’s U.S. expansion became just a footnote in the history books.

Unfortunately, Canada isn’t doing as well in turning those strengths into business research and development, according to a recent report by the Science, Technology and Innovation Council (STIC).
Canada ranks sixth among G7 industrialized countries with respect to research and development as a proportion of gross domestic product, says the council. In addition, Canada sits near the bottom of a list of 26 nations in terms of business sector collaboration with governments, universities and other companies.
