This certainly doesn't cover all research funding, and it is in US, not Canada, but in 2022 the National Cancer Institute gave $580 million in grants for breast cancer research, and $280 million for prostate. That ratio has been steady for years:

OTOH, There are more new breast cases /year (43,000 breast/34,000), yet more prostate deaths (30,000 prostate/27,000).

Breast cancer afflicts all genders, just not equally.
