It is important to invest in science and education, and that's not just because I am an inventor. Economically, the Canadian Government can buy up a few real estate buildings and rent them out, sure the ROI is not that great but in the long run, it is a great source of income. If they really want to make future prosperity and help people, buy up all the mortgages from the Americans, and then re-offer the mortgage. Even if we offer an interest rate of 2% we would make billions of dollars, a perfect investment in future prosperity. Any investment in reoccurring income should be strongly considered as long as it does NOT interfere with the economic stability of any other Canadian. By that I mean don't buy up anything that is not for sale. Hey, if its on the market its fair game. I also think that education should be changed. Children have an overwhelming capacity to learn. Children in grades 1-7 should be taught more, at increasingly higher levels, kids today don't learn enough in school, its more of a daycare the an education center, more for the benefits of parents then for the children. If we invested more in medical R&D the cost of health care might go down eventually freeing up more finances in the future. If Canada is to survive, it has to seriously reconsider looking at their options, I don't want to be stuck in some communist or third world country.
