Isn't it ironical, don't you think?

Canadian taxpayers are on the hook for an $88,900 standard research grant to...get this...study taxes.

Reminds me of the movie Good Will Hunting near the end when professor Lambeau sees Sean (Robin Williams) packing his bags in his office, he asks where he's planning on going, of which Sean replies that he intends to travel the world...Pakistan, the Middle East and Philadelphia, I think? Sean tells Lambeau of an upcoming class reunion and tells Lambeau that he will buy him a drink at it. Lambeau responds that the drinks at these reunions are free, and Sean says he was being "ironical".

Ironical? Definition: taxpayers paying for studies to study taxes.
