Lack of Connection Between Canonical and the Community

All, As the title of the thread states, I think the problem is really this along with lack of resources. Also, by Community, I mean the main flavor's, not the others- you guys are more dependent of the upsteam communities. I think if we do fix this age old problem, because it is one, I think we could solve the resources problem, as in get more ACTIVE people in. I really can't think of solutions yet, expect the Ubuntu Foundation one (which to me after reading Lyz's reply is the Community funding), so I'm starting the discussion for (well) the discussion of my thoughts on the issue and for solutions.
