I found this on my University's website and decided to share it with all of you! Here are new rankings for Sciences and Engineering based solely on academic research in Canada.

It explains their methodology of obtaining the data as well as other interesting information
again, these rankings are based on research and research grants, not on University quality.

enjoy!
