His motivations are actually quite interesting once one stop to think about them.

Sure, the death of his mother set him on the course to "break the birdcage" but his true motivation, was to get ghoul research started again for the benefit of mankind.

Kanou's goals were actually altruistic in the end of things, as he did everything for the benefit of mankind.

Sure, he started the whole mess, but since his goals were indeed selfless and noble, he managed to succeed and earned himself a painfree reward for all his work without a hint of punishment to them.

The fact that he actually commited suicide shows that he didn't do this for himself, for money, acknowledgement or any selfish cause at all.

He truly lived for the sake of helping others, in accordance to the oath of a doctor he lived by.

Bravo Ishida... for creating such a complex character under the guise of a seemingly villain of this story.

Well played.
